Visually engaging puzzles and games develop spatial reasoning, math, logic, and problem-solving skills in children 6-10 through over 150 diverse, grit-building challenges. Review: Challenging, but do-able for a bright 5 year old. - I bought this workbook for my 5-year-old to keep his brain active over the summer holidays, and he was very keen to get started. I’d say 5 is about the youngest it would suit. The book includes a variety of puzzles—word searches, number challenges, logic activities, and problem-solving exercises. Most were understandable for him with a little guidance, and a few were more advanced, which stretched him in a good way. He was able to complete most of the puzzles independently, and the trickier ones turned into fun opportunities to work together. For children younger than 5, it would likely be too advanced, but for 5-8 year olds it’s spot on. A great way to keep kids thinking and learning during school breaks. I’ll definitely look at buying other books in this series. Review: Great educational tool - Our grandchild loves the book. There's a lot to learn and discover. Although it's meant for an older age, she is already finding many interesting things at just five years old.

Challenging, but do-able for a bright 5 year old.

Beware, some American spelling!
I have received the book just today and have only looked through it quickly. The book is divided into sections, spacial reasoning, math puzzles, logic problems, word games, focus activities, two-player games and answers. I would say that the first few pages of each section could be done by a six year old, possibly with some guidance, but challenging enough to make them fun and interesting. The puzzles gradually get harder so possibly if your child is six it would be a book that he/she grows into. Some of the drawings are not clear as to which animal is which so maybe a page giving each one a name would be helpful for the younger ones. Also be aware that American spelling is used for example colour is spelled color so the spelling games may need to be checked by an adult. On the whole it looks as though it’s a good buy. It’s a fun way for children to learn to think logically and work things out. 4 stars because of American spellings and unclear diagrams, the skunk or is it a cat, badger -or is it a fox, are anyone’s guess. I haven’t tried the puzzles yet so maybe there isn’t a cat or fox. Anyway as said earlier a page at the beginning introducing the characters would clear any confusion up. Also answers are given, but an explanation as to why that is the answer would be useful. Looking forward to trying this out with my 6 year old grandson

Engaging and Exciting
Bold and easy-to-understand diagrams and puzzles. This is a fun learning book for kids. Funny illustrations and diagrams keep the interest going. A wide selection of thought and observation-provoking tasks. It gives parents a heads-up on how their child's level of comprehension. Exercises cover ages 6-19, for now, some may be too hard for the younger ones, but possibly suitable for older Syblins. I recommend the book because of its fun and promotes cognitive reasoning

Fun but different levels of difficulty.
Very good book with unusual exercises in various levels of difficulty, some of them quite challenging. Probably best not to push the child if they are struggling - just move on to another problem and revisit the tough ones at a later date.

Ok…
Thought this would be more challenging. It’s not. Child had asked for a book with riddles and codes kind of thing. Thought this would tick the box at the last minute. I was disappointed. And she was underwhelmed. A shame really. But in all honesty it would probably suit most kids up to 7. Definitely not beyond nor bright 6/7 year olds unless they were after an easy time filler.

Excellent
This book is exciting and challenging in equal measure. It provides random thinking and mathematical skills and the language used is warm and encouraging

This book has a variety of fun activities to inspire your child to happily try and want to do more. A few of the activities may require parental help and support to encourage them to continue and or complete the activity. Your child will improve on their skills, build a stronger resilience, be more confident and broaden their logic and ideas. A fun way to learn!

Read my reviews of the other two books I reviewed. They are essential for busy teachers and parents as a tool to teach logic. Don’t miss out! Grandparents could give the appropriate book to become favourite grandparent as you sit and discuss and help the child through the problems presented. The children love the time spent with the adult, and are rewarded by soon thinking and ‘getting’ the problems on their own. They are delightful and playful, yet the challenge presented in each puzzle stimulates so much conversation. Did I mention that I really like this series?

Fun and challenging for kids. Makes brain exercises seem like fun, not work. Great for filling downtime between core learning subjects.

La meilleure retrouvailles que je puisse faire, si on sait un peu d’anglais c’est facile à l’utiliser. Les exercices sont très amusants, mon enfant a aimé .
