This is the kind of book that I was looking for weeks!! A first puzzle book for children to start learning to think about chess tactics. I believe children has to start with the most simple and basic problems/puzzles, so they learn without to much effort. Anyway I think the best resource about teaching chess to children (adults also) is Chess School for Beginners even better than the famous Learn to Play Chess with Fritz and Chesster but this book is very good for starters. Still couldnt find a really really good book to teach tactics to children, it looks like the chess writters are looking for little genius, focussing in very talented children instead of looking to improve the thinking process of the "regular" kids so they may become "chess genius". OK, I'll keep looking or someday I'll write it myselft :)

An excellent book on the end game, showing ideas on how to queen pawns and how to block your opponent's attempt to queen.
This is a useful book for all ages, with 90 problems that can be solved in 1-2 moves.
Very helpful to help children. I'm now using it with a teen student.
A good book for the money.
