This is a good book on Sudoku for kids. The book includes only 48 puzzles half of which are simple 4x4 grids and the other half are more difficult 9x9 grids The solutions are at the end of the book. There are no categories or levels of difficulty for the puzzles.The first two pages in this book are dedicated for strategy, hints, rules, or tips. All the puzzles in the book are Classic Sudoku (with numbers). There are no Alphabet Sudoku (with letters) or Symbol Sudoku (with shapes and symbols) like the two books "Kindergarten Sudoku" and "Preschool Sudoku". Also, there are no simple 6x6 puzzles like some of the other books.
I bought this book for my 7 year old and she really liked that it started out very easy and then progressively got a little harder. Great way to introduce them to Sudoku with numbers. Previously we had done the Spongebob and Dora books with pictures, but she needed to move up.
Perfect for beginner.The first part is super simple with X's and O's and good for my 5 year old. The second part with numbers in a 3 x 3 small grid format I started with my 8 year old son who was resistant to Sudoku. But, once he completed the book. He likes these puzzles and want more advanced Sodoku now.As a adult I also started on the second part also with the numbers and and smaller grid. it was a good introduction for me too! It got me hooked and I have bought more advanced Sudoku puzzles to complete at night. Also, it got me on the road to buy other logic puzzles for myself.
My 6 year old son was able to many of these on his own on the 3 hour plane ride. He needed some help with the later puzzles, but the first few puzzles got him through take off and about 40 minutes into the flight. I was happy to put my book down after that and work the puzzles with him. It was an activity that occupied both of us that i felt good about - good way to put off screen time on the plane!
thought there might be engaging illustrations inside or at least more eye-catching (ie interesting to a 2d/3rd grader) illustrations, but it's pretty dull, from that perspective. Otherwise, a sudoku book is a sudoku book ..puzzles are easy enough for young elementary kids
Bought this for my 6 year old and it was a hit. Kept him occupied, and also something fun we could do together. It's a small size book so easy to fit in my bag for on the go entertainment (restaurant, etc.) They start off easy and get more challenging. Great introduction to sudoku for young children and highly recommend.
I purchased this for our elementary school. I am introducing a unit on logic, and this puzzle has a nice range of abilities. We stared with the lowest level and progressed to the end. The students were able to grasp the concept, especially as it stair steps nicely up through the levels. My Kinder's were even able to do the 4x4 puzzles after we started with picture Sudoku for them.
My 7 year old grandson asked me to teach him how to do a Sudoku puzzle & I saw this beginner book on ! It's simple enough to start him on the basics & he's hooked like me! For a kid who plays sports, always wants to play outside & never stops moving this was a great way to get him to just sit & concentrate on something other than TV!
