Can you remember what Tweety-Bird likes to say, or identify The Three Stooges? Know the name of an island near Florida or the direction the sun rises? Test your word power with 40 super-fun crosswords from the folks at American Mensa. Each puzzle features all the things you love-your favorite books, movies and cartoons; the games you play; and lots more. And when you come across a clue that stumps you-don't worry Just go on and do the others and soon you'll be able to fill in the blanks. There are names of planets and continents, lines from "Yankee Doodle Dandy," nursery rhyme words, plus the nickname for Texas, a red flower with thorns, and a singing chipmunk. It's smart entertainment
The puzzles in this book are just about right for my 11-year-old. While he needs some help from us on a few of the clues (for instance, filling in a part of the title of the song "Tie Me Kangaroo Down, Sport", which was a little before his time), he can complete most of the puzzles on his own. The clues are well-written and often witty. Even if you aren't into crosswords, it's a great way to spend time with your child and lure them away from video games!
Awesome crossword book for young kids!

Terrific book for my 7 and 9 year olds. Just hard enough that they have to work a little, not too hard that they give up. And the book has only crosswords - no jumbles, fill in the blanks, and other puzzles that they don't want. Just perfect!
