I bought this for my 9 year old who loves it. I gave it to him last night and he did 4 puzzles. He grabbed it again this morning. This best part is that it wasn't too challenging. He only has asked me 2 questions so far, so it's not too advanced.
My 3rd grader is just eating this up. She wanted a book of crossword puzzles; this has many of those plus a variety of other word puzzles. No patronizing language, goofy artwork or contrived puzzles. I like how they get her to use her vocabulary and spelling, such as with figuring out a word and filling in the missing letters. I also like that the book is not this huge overwhelming monstrosity-- perfect size for travel, not too intimidating to complete, and you can set a goal of completing one in order to get the next one.Gigi says she particularly likes the puzzles where you fill in the middle letters of the words, and those letters in turn make words which form a riddle and its answer.
My grandson is 8 yrs old; this is an excellent puzzle book for him. He loves it-- and though he likes school and likes to be read to, he prefers to not pick up a pencil :) Ahhh.... but this puzzle book is irresistible; he carries it around the house w/ him and works on it from time-to-time during the day.
I purchased this product as a stress release to complete before bed, but I have found that I take it places to enjoy. As this is designed for children, I have children participate in completing the puzzles...keeps them occupied. I would certainly purchase this again, both because of the product and the seller. It arrived quickly, and in perfect condition.
When one kid has finished his/her homework (but the other child hasn't) this is a good quiet learning time activity. Add the puzzle book to the stash of goodies you keep in your car and turn boredom-while-waiting-stints into learning time.
I know this book is for children, but sometimes as an adult I want to do something relaxing, that I can enjoy without having to work too hard at it. I absolutely LOVE doing puzzles, so when I don't want too think to hard and just want to have fun, this book is the perfect match. Perhaps it's shameful that I'm not doing a New York Times crossword, but hey, to each his own. I love this! :)
my son loves this book; i highly recommend for 7-9 year olds. this is a great vacation book; lazy afternoons can be spent doing puzzles.
Another nice collection of puzzles and word games that is aimed at children from, I'd say, six to nine or ten.
