Stimulates great nostalgic conversations.
What a fun book this is. I got it with the idea of gifting it to my sister, but I think I'll get myself a copy, too! There is a trivia question on each page besides the fun words and phrases to find in the word search matrix. So, my favorite thing about this book is the conversations it stimulates and the memories it brings back. A lot of the clues are not that familiar to me, since my memory only goes back to the 60s. Of all the nostalgia word search books I have had, I think this is my favorite.

Very Nostalgic
This book has 100 large print word search puzzles, plus some bonus content that you can download. Each puzzle has a unique theme such as fashion trends, dance crazes, television shows, etc., with 18 words or phrases to find. Some of the themes are very nostalgic and bring up memories of decades past, while others are more modern. As I went through the puzzles, I felt like I was getting a fun and educational history review along with the enjoyment that comes from finding the hidden words. Really glad I picked this one up.
