In this book, Jess and Jamie discuss chess including its history, the way the pieces move, the rules and various tactics. They cover all the basics. This is a great book to read with your child . . . you read one part while the child reads the other.
Just got this for my daughter for Xmas. She loves it, it takes a never-ever chess player gradually through the pieces so that you're playing shorter, faster games right away and in the process building your knowledge. It's particularly fun for a parent and child because the book is written as a dialogue between two people (so my daughter and I trade off reading it).
