"This nostalgic book brings back the best of times from the 1950s! With crossword puzzles, trivia, and awesome graphics, it covers everything from iconic TV shows to the UFO craze. The book even has QR codes so you can download a music playlist from the era, which I think is super cool! It's great for anyone who loves the 50s or lived through it. The puzzles are fun, and the trivia sparks memories of the golden age of rock 'n' roll and sock hops. The large print makes it perfect for seniors. This book provides hours of enjoyment, and seniors will love solving the "Take Me Back in Time" puzzles while listening to the era's music!"

"This book is an absolute gem. The word search puzzles are well-crafted and engaging, but what really sets this book apart is the thoughtful addition of illustrated fun facts and trivia. I didn't know that Play-Doh was originally used to clean wallpaper! This is more than just a puzzle book—it's a nostalgic journey. I highly recommend it as a gift or a personal treat for any senior who loves a trip down memory lane."

- Reviewed in the United States on March 9, 2025A lovely book that took me back to my youth. The illustrations and texts between the quizzes really add to the overall experience. I loved that they added QR to the music. I used it from time to time and it upgraded the experience. I appreciate whoever created this book.
- Reviewed in the United States on March 13, 2025I got this for my grandma and she enjoys this nostalgic book! This really makes her entertained.
- Reviewed in the United States on January 28, 2025THE GOOD OLD DAYS
Do you remember the 1950s? THE 1950S ACTIVITY BOOK FOR SENIORS is a delightful trip back in time to renew the highlights of those years.
Some of the topics in the 50 Word Finder puzzles are about still going strong, e.g., Mad Magazine, Peanuts, spy novels, the 50-star American flag, shopping malls, Play-Doh, fast food restaurants and Tupperware parties.
Others are personalities, such as Elvis, Marilyn Monroe, Dinah Shore, Jame Dean, Chuck Berry, and Ed Sullivan, television shows including The Mickey Mouse Club, American Bandstand, I Love Lucy, Bonanza, Leave it to Beaver, The Honeymooners, and The Twilight Zone
and characters like James Bond and Davy Crockett.
Life changing styles such as suburbs, drive-In theaters and churches, Ford Thunderbirds, the polio vaccine, Sputnik are represented.,
So are fads such as Sock Hops, 3-D movies, Hula Hoops, poodle skirts, grease hairstyles,and beatniks.
Some categories include multiple choice questions and little known information.
The diverse topics are fun to explore either by yourself or share with others.
My only criticism is that I receive this as an e-book from LibraryThing Early Reviewers . It would be much better having it in print.
- Reviewed in the United States on January 17, 2025This word search book is absolutely beautiful and so well-made! I truly enjoyed every single page. It’s both an entertaining and challenging journey through history. It’s perfect for keeping your mind sharp and active. I especially loved the fun facts that come with each activity, so many of them were new to me, and it was great to learn something along the way. The book takes you on a wonderful trip back in time, covering topics like music, classic cars, movies, and traditions from the 1950s. Highly recommend!
- Reviewed in the United States on February 23, 2025Do you like doing word searches and a little trivia? This has a few trivia questions and lots of word searches. Each word search has twenty-one words to find.
I received a free copy of this book and am voluntarily leaving a review.
- Reviewed in the United States on December 13, 2024Bringing back the bobby socks for Baby Boomers - The 1950s Nostalgia Activity Book for Seniors was such a delightful trip down memory lane! The retro-themed word searches brought back so many memories, from classic TV shows to favorite songs of the decade. I especially loved the illustrated fun facts and trivia that came with each puzzle—like learning tidbits about the first drive-in theaters or popular diner meals. Solving the puzzles felt like a relaxing and enjoyable way to revisit the charm of the 1950s.
- Reviewed in the United States on December 9, 2024This is all themed about the fifties. Love all the little bits of trivia. The search words are fun with a good amount of words to find. There are some trivia questions but is mostly a search word book. Lots of fun.
