Kids will enjoy testing their knowledge of popular sayings, books, cartoons, TV shows, nursery rhymes, animals, sports, music, geography, and more with 40 terrific crossword puzzles. Packed with clues that include a little bit of everything, and that offer a challenge without using obscure words, these puzzles are fun to do. So while children think of solving the puzzles as a game, they'll learn new things, too. Do you know the last name of the author of "Curious George" (3 letters)? How about a five-letter word for extinct birds, or dummies? Here's a tricky one: a flower that's easy to remember (hyphenated--11 letters). Can't figure it out? The solutions are all in the back of the book.

Answers: Rey, Dodos, a bone, forget-me-not

TRIP PAYNE HAS DONE IT AGAIN. HE CREATES SUCH FANTASTIC CROSSWORD PUZZLES FOR SMART KIDS, AND FOR ADULTS, I'M 65. SOME PEOPLE HAVE THE NACK FOR WORKING HARD CROSSWORD PUZZLES, BUT NOT ME. I HAVE PROBABLY ALL OF TRIP PAYNE'S PUZZLE BOOKS FOR KIDS. THEY ARE OF EVERYDAY WORDS, THAT EVERYONE KNOWS, AND GIVES YOU THE FUN OF WORKING CROSSWORD PUZZLES, AND KEEPS YOUR BRAIN ACTIVE. I RECOMMEND IT TO ALL AGES.
