Better for kids than television, these games possess a full share of educational virtues. They stretch the memory, improve language skills, exercise logic, and sharpen visual acumen-without being homework!

Ingeniously conceived and delightfully illustrated, the games magazine junior kids' big book of games promises entertainment for a year of rainy days or interminable drives in the car. And it proves, finally, that kids can never be too smart for their own good. Selection of the Book-of-the-Month Club. Suitable for ages 6-12. 653,000 copies in print.
I got this for an airline ride with my 6-year-old puzzle lover. I may have had more fun with it than him!
Review of the Kids' Big Book of Games
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 16 years ago
The book arrived on time with no damages to the books. I use this book at the recommendation of my occupational therapist to regain functional brain activities that were damaged in my car accident in 2005. I found the book very interesting and helpful for me. As it is for children, I also sent a copy to friends of mine for their children to have fun working with as they learn. A great book for all the family. Thank You Jean Marie Naples

I use this book with 7th and 8th graders to get their brains working during class. I love it and use it often.
Big Book = Big Fun!

I purchased this book to use with my students to help them develop their visual perceptual, perceptual motor, and problem solving skills. The puzzles vary in presentation and level of complexity, so you will be sure to find something to suit. The kids are having fun, so they forget about the fact that they are also learning important skills.
