Book Description

Publication Date: April 18, 2005 | Age Range: 7 and up | Series: Brain Quest

Brain Quest just keeps getting smarter! Brain Quest For the Car has been thoroughly updated with fresh and appealing designs for the cards and revised content—that’s hundreds of brand-new questions. Drawn from first-through sixth-grade curricula, the material aligns with state and national standards and is vetted by an award-winning teacher.

For the Car makes every trip—in a car, bus, train, or plane—a learning adventure with 1,100 questions all about America, from the O.K. Corral to Dr. Seuss, state capitals to Mount Rushmore. And it’s better than ever. The decks are no longer organized by state, and the cards are marked with letters and numbers to be used in backseat games based on license plates, I Spy, and more.

Brain Quest proves it’s not just fun to be smart—it’s smart to be smart.

Another purchase for my granddaughters. They love to use their brain quest cards especially when traveling in the car. It is great what they learn from these cards. A must for travel or just to learn!

I think I have these for every grade level also. My girls love them. They like to test each other and us also. Are very educational and refresh us parents minds also! These are great to keep in the car or take on Motor Home trips. Small and compact, we love them.

My daughter loves to read these questions all the time. I bought it for our long road trip to Disney World, but it looks like I am going to have to buy different ones as she can't put this one down already.
