This review is from: Lucky 13: Solitaire Games For Kids (Paperback)
I bought this book for my nephew, and he loved it. What a great way to not only have some fun, but also stretch your kid's mind. It is also good for keeping the kids busy on rainy days. This Micheal Street really understands how to explain games to children. Extremely well written.

This review is from: Lucky 13: Solitaire Games For Kids (Paperback)
This book was purchased for a "senior" who enjoyed the game but wanted more of a variation to her playing cards, and the print was large enough for her to follow, and she enjoys using the book to make the card game more challenging. Its a book that is not just for kids!
5.0 out of 5 stars
