 a book every child should have September 19, 2001

I was so glad to find that this book is still in print. It was wonderful and challenging and great fun to figure out some of the problems, learn a different way of looking at things, stretching your imagination... It taught me that things aren't always the way they appear to be. It taught me to think for myself and I used it over and over again, exercising the mind muscle. I lost mine from 25 years ago, and its one of the books that has stood out from my childhood. Now I'm thrilled to find I can still get a copy for my son and a few copies as unique gifts. Its not like any other childrens book I've seen.

Perplexing Puzzles and Tantalizing Teasers will definitely test your wits and best of all, it'll test your common sense. You'll realize common sense is not so common after all! The book is also full of word games, visual games, conundrums, jokes, palindromes, and some real stumpers. I was given my first copy 18 years ago, and I've been hooked ever since. The illustrations are great; and if you can't figure something out, the answer is always in the back.

This book is a bonanza of puzzles, riddles, and questions with an emphasis on humor. Two great volumes bound as one. Put together they account for 93 stimulating brainteasers ideal for strengthening young mental muscles. Ridiculous riddles, tantalizing teasers, intricate mazes, deceptive illusions, tricky questions, and a host of unusual word and picture puzzle will offer your kids many hours of challenging fun. All the solutions are given at the back of the book.
This curious and comic collection is the perfect companion for car trips, parties, picnics, or those long rainy days.
Great for a precocious 7 year old November 30, 2009

Great for my seven-year old grandson who loves puzzles, jokes and riddles. While much in this book is above him at the moment, he will grow into it. And what he can do now, is challenging and completely engaging. He especially liked a puzzle that asked him to find the differences between two drawings. Unlike the usual challenge in this type of exercise, the two drawings were mirror images where he had to distinguish between things on the left reflected as things on the right. He loved it!
