Pre-school prep workbook recommendations?

I am looking for advice if anyone has had a good experience with a workbook for preschoolers that I can use to help my DD get prepared for school.  Please don't reply with things like, "Don't push her...no need to prep her, etc." I have already made the decision to start helping her learn to read, write, follow directions, draw shapes, etc.  Just looking for a good resource if anyone knows of one.  Thanks! :)

    I buy tons of dollar letter stickers and we do sticker art spelling DS's full name, and practicing sight words. I buy the giant pa

    When DD was three I got a tracing book and a cutting book from Kumon for her. The books were fun, colorful, and progressed with her skill level. I also got a bunch of letter stickers from Target and had her practice recognizing lower and upper case letter

    I taught both of my kids to read during preschool, but I never found workbooks to be that helpful.  We had them around, but they weren't what I used for teaching them literacy skills.  I just played games and made my own materials.  When

    I like the Kumon workbooks.  I also like the flash cards from Brain Quest.

    My oldest learned to read by me pointing to words as I read to her.  She took an interest in workbooks after she already had the skills.  I think workbooks are great for independent practice of skills, but I think supporting and teaching read
