Trip Payne (Author)

Book Description

Publication Date: March 1, 2004 | Age Level: 8 and up | Grade Level: 3 and up

An official Mensa puzzle book!

Master puzzle maker Trip Payne has come up with another brain-busting collection that will wow youngsters. His Crosswords for Kids has sold nearly 60,000 copies, and his Great Crosswords for Kids is on its way to similar success; these oh-so-clever puzzles should scale the heights of popularity, too. Children will enjoy figuring out such kid-friendly clues as “Last name of the author of Curious George,” “One of Santa's helpers,” and “Sylvester the Cat chased him.” And while they're having a good time filling in the answers, youngsters will also improve their vocabulary, learn interesting facts, and boost their powers of concentration.

This review is from: Clever Crosswords for Kids (Paperback)

My daughter enjoys doing these puzzles on car trips. She's nine years old and solves most of the clues on her own.

She likes to read a clue out loud when she's not sure about it, hoping to get a further hint from mom or dad -- She gets a sense of accomplishment and confidence doing them that way, rather than being told the answer outright.

I'm sure when this book is done, we'll be buying another from this series.

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. 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.
