Every book in Trip Payne's popular, inexpensive crossword series has become a bestseller. Now, this genius of crossword creation (he had his first puzzles published when he was just in junior high and won the American Crossword Puzzle Tournament a grand three times) is back with a seventh collection. That should make puzzle-loving kids positively ecstatic. The age-appropriate clues include "Aladdin rubbed a magic one," "Famous ____ (brand of cookies)," and "You might use one in a treasure hunt." There's nothing in here that isn't worth knowing, nothing that's obscure or arcane. So, for youngsters it's lots of fun. Happy solving
This book was a gift for my 8-year old granddaughter. All the female members of the family are crossword addicts, so this book was by way of a "nudge" in that direction. She loved the book and has asked for more.

I purchased this for my six year old son. He hasn't put it down since. It is an excellent introduction to crossword puzzles for children. He does need help at times with some of the clues, but most he can handle. I highly recommend this book.
