Tricky Puzzles for Clever Kids

By Isabella Riedler

Theres a picture on every page, but what you cant see is more important than whats in plain sight. Thats because each of these picture puzzles hides something from you, then dares you to find it. See if you can detect the boomerang lost among a pile of clothes hangers. Pick the dog in a dogpile who actually lives in the doghouse. Help the cook find his hat thats sailed into the clouds. If youre really alert, youll be able to rescue swimmers from sharks in a pool, help a kayaker find his paddle before he drowns, or pick out a camel from a pile of humps and other body parts. Youll also encounter puzzles that feature mazes and maps, word ladders and number series. All the solutions are hidden in plain sight, but in case you still cant find them, turn to the answer section in the back of the book.

Great Brain Games

I got this book for my 7 year old who loves mazes and puzzles. Most of these are too difficult for him to figure out on his own. We like to sit down and work on them together. That seems to work the best for us. The puzzles are challenging. There is a key in the back to help you out if you get stuck. This book will be around our house for along time. As he gets older he will be able to work them out himself. Great for car trips. Good luck.
