What’s lots of fun—and brain-building too? Crosswords! Kids love to solve puzzles, and while they’re enjoying themselves, they’re also improving language skills, logical reasoning, and even their knowledge of the world. This cool collection has real child-appeal with irresistible themes that range from “Back to School” to “Dino Delight” to “Sports Fans.” The clues are just hard enough to give young solvers a good challenge without leaving them frustrated. For example, “Scaly Tales” has questions about lizards, dragons, and swamp-dwelling reptiles, while “Wiz Kids” is perfect for Harry Potter fans, and “Hit Toons” asks about animated favorites.
Of course, the solution to every crossword is included, just in case they get stumped.

More than meets the eye
This little book is not only for kids, but for adults too. I am not big on normal adult crosswords, and word puzzles. This book is very good for all. I have been using more and more of these younger person books and just love them. I am a college educated person so it is not for lack of trying the adult type puzzles. By using this book I have realized that it is OK to try it and other similar books.

WHAT ABOUT A CANADIAN-RELATED CROSSWORD PUZZLE BOOK FOR CHILDREN?
Not pleased that the clues; therefore, the answers also, are U.S.A. I am looking for a children’s crosswords puzzle book just for the Canadians.

Okay but not for younger kids
The cover gives the impressions all kids will love the crosswords. After trying two puzzles our 7 seven year old daughter said she found it too difficult to figure out on her own. With some prompting and additional clues other than what was provided helped but as parents both my wife and I agreed some clues were not very intuitive or obvious. This one ended up on her bookshelf and she will try it again when she is a bit older.Hope this review someone to decide if they should purchase this book for their own kids or as a gift.

I think it is good but still a bit advanced for Grade 4
I think it is good but still a bit advanced for Grade 4. Difficult to find crosswords for children I’ve found.

American-based. My son didn’t know a lot of the answers but we are from Canada.

My 10-year old daughter loves to read, loves puzzles and brain teasers and this is her first exposure to crosswords. Awesome choice for her, she’s loving it! Great bonding experience for us to work on these together.

Too old for a 7 year old. Description doesn’t state an age.

Excellent great value for the money highly

Obscure information, outdated information (copyright 2012), and adult topics (e.g., leasing agreements).

Great collection of crosswords for pre-teens. My ten year olds loved working on them, though they sometimes needed a little help. They prefer this to puzzles that are too easy.
