So much fun!!! My daughter loves it!!!
'The Five-Minute Brain Workout for Kids is awesome! I love anything that challenges my kids. I love that there's ten levels of puzzles so kids can start out at an easy level and progress. I've been using this in the mornings as a warm up to get our day started and my daughter loves it! With 365 puzzles throughout the book it will keep her busy all year long. The illustrations are cute and help keep the book kids friendly. I also love that the back of the book includes answers just in case kids get stuck.'
Happy brain time!
'The teacher in me just loved this book. I would give my students these amazing brain exercises daily. What a fun way to get your students' brains awake and charged going off into their day. There are ten level of puzzles in all and the good news? (parents listen up) There are answers included at the end of the book. Hurray!!! Now you can breathe easier because it’s all been done for you. I was impressed with the format and highly recommend it. Both parent and child are in for some brain-stretching.'
