This is pretty good.

My son will be 9 this summer and loves brainteasers. This one kept him engaged and he was very eager to share with us what was in the book. I gave it to him during a trip out of state and he was in that book from cover to cover! It was definitely a lifesaver for me because keeping him entertained on a long trip isn't easy to do.
Excellent Book for Young Children

This is another great book from the great Martin Gardner, who once wrote the Mathematics column in Scientific American. In this book, he is accompanied by an amazing illustrator, Jeff Sinclair. Sinclair's illustration combined with Gardner's ingenuity are what make this book so much fun.I strongly recommend this book to those with young children, or for those looking for a fun present for a little boy or girl. The kids will love Sinclair's drawings and adore the book. The simply-stated problems and interesting solutions can provide entertainment for hours.The puzzles are organized by categories. Gardner begins with a few pages of warm up problems, then proceeds into "word for word," a literary playground. He continues with a chapter utilizing Sinclair's pictures, then continues with tricky questions are teasers. The book finishes with science and math problems, more Sinclair in "Find the Mistakes," and finally logic puzzles. Overall, this book is 96 pages of fun!
