I bought this for my 9 year old who loves it. I gave it to him last night and he did 4 puzzles. He grabbed it again this morning. This best part is that it wasn't too challenging. He only has asked me 2 questions so far, so it's not too advanced.

My 3rd grader is just eating this up. She wanted a book of crossword puzzles; this has many of those plus a variety of other word puzzles. No patronizing language, goofy artwork or contrived puzzles. I like how they get her to use her vocabulary and spelling, such as with figuring out a word and filling in the missing letters. I also like that the book is not this huge overwhelming monstrosity-- perfect size for travel, not too intimidating to complete, and you can set a goal of completing one in order to get the next one.

Gigi says she particularly likes the puzzles where you fill in the middle letters of the words, and those letters in turn make words which form a riddle and its answer.

My 10 yr. old DD asked for a puzzle book for Christmas. This is just what she wanted!

A book worth ordering for children. Lots of "stuff" to do and to keep occupied for hours.
