My 9 and 7 year olds love this book! I was looking in bookstores for crossword puzzle books (only crosswords, not all the other puzzles that come with them usually). There were none to be found. Amazon has this great series of just crosswords and they're perfect! Clues are just hard enough that they have to think a little, but not so hard that they get frustrated and give up. A great find!
