Book Description

4 and upP and up
Kids love animals as much as they love puzzles and silly word games. Barnyard Games & Puzzles follows the success of Horse Games & Puzzles for Kids and The Petting Farm Poster Book. Full of lively drawings, it offers page after page of word games and picture puzzles, as well as jokes, riddles, and word play.

Puzzle books for kids are often either too simplistic or too frustratingly difficult for young solvers. Barnyard Games & Puzzles was created by two experienced puzzle makers who have designed a variety of puzzles specifically for five-to eight-year-old readers.

With nearly 100 puzzles, the book clusters simpler games in the front and draws the reader on to more complex ones. Connect-the-dots pictures and find-the-hidden-items drawings will entice younger children, while the mix of crossword puzzles, fill-in-the-blanks, mazes, word searches, logic puzzles, codes, and other games will provide hours of fun and delight for both beginning and more experienced readers.

Each illustrated page has lots to look at and plenty of room for small fingers to write. A pair of funny farmyard friends wander through the pages giving directions and telling silly jokes.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great fun, December 8, 2007

Carole (Chester County, PA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Barnyard Games & Puzzles: 100 Mazes, Word Games, Picture Puzzles, Jokes and Riddles, Brainteasers, and Fun Activities for Kids (Paperback)
My 6 yr old got this for his birthday and really enjoys the puzzles. He's an advanced reader for his age, and has had no problems with the level 1 and 2 puzzles. He sometimes needs help figuring out what to do with the stage 3 puzzles, but then he does them well. We plan on getting more books from this series as he finishes them.
