The puzzles in this book are great. However, I liked the author's book Are You Smart, or What? better because, besides puzzles, it has lots of fun stuff including outrageous intelligent quotients.

Once again Pat has me and my family laughing out loud as we team up to solve the riddles in this book. Some of the word plays are simple and the grade school cousins join in, sometimes even my latin-schooled father scratches his head. You'll love this one!

What a joy this book is. Our family fought over who could have the book until we got smarter and bought more copies, one for each person in the family (5 total). Maybe Pat's book did help make us smarter!
