This review is from: Mind Benders Beginning Book 2 (Gr 1-2) (Paperback)

The book consists of 42 activities. They are presented in a square matrix with clues underneath. For example the easiest activity would consist of a 3x3 matrix with a picture of a family by each row, and various pets above each column. Underneath would be clues that a child would use to match the correct pet to the correct family member. Instructions and answer sheets are given. The book progresses from easy to harder, although it is still appropriate for the grade level (1st/2nd) indicated. It is a good introduction to logic and reasoning skills for children. It is the kind of book that is fun for kids to do in short doses, after a while the puzzles seem very similar, so you would not want to do it all in one sitting. I am happy with this purchase.
