What I really liked about this book is that it is so user-friendly. It begins with Level 1 and then you can continue to keep advancing up to Level 10. Each level gets a little harder as you progress so you aren’t just jumping into the hard stuff when you begin. It also bumps around to different concepts and keeps the brain really thinking. Some concepts are sure harder than others. Even my newly six-year old was able to work on pages with me. I think the book is challenging for all ages and as an adult, it even made me think and feel challenged. It seems to be a fun book for the entire family. Would highly recommend for the family to work on together, one or one or just kiddos who want to be challenged alone. Great traveling book and or book to work on while you’re waiting at a restaurant or doctor’s office als0.
The 5 Minute Brain Workout for Kids can be purchased at Amazon, Barnes & Noble and anywhere children’s books are sold.
