3.0 out of 5 stars Just Not The Same, July 28, 2007

By

This review is from: Brain Quest Grade 1 (Cards)

We have Brain Quest for ages 3-4 and 5-6. My children love them and the pictures are great--very helpful for the pre-reader group. I recently bought the Brain Quest for ages 6-7 for air travel and my 6 year old daughter was very disappointed. She doesn't like that there aren't any illustrations throughout the entire 750 Questions and Answers. Each page looks the same with only topic symbols. I suppose a 7 year old might enjoy this format better than a 6 year old. I would stick with the 5-6 Brain Quest for as long as you possibly can before you move on to the Brain Quest for Ages 6-7.

5.0 out of 5 stars Another Favorite!!, January 15, 2007

I buy every Brain Quest package available each year, according to my son's age. They're easy to travel with & he loves proving that he knows SO MUCH. Just enough easy ones to make him confident & enough harder ones to keep him challenged. I suggest the math version, too. We keep them in the car, in his room, in the living room, in his suitcase, etc. Great illustrations & visual stimulus for visual learners too.

5.0 out of 5 stars My 1st grader loves it!, March 4, 2010

I hesitated to get this after reading some of the reviews, but my son loves it. The lack of pictures does not bother us. I've been reading the questions to him and he answers. After we go through it all, I will encourage him to read through it himself since the questions will be more familiar to him. He is so excited when he gets a "genius point"!
