Excellent book!!

This is the kind of book that I was looking for weeks!! A first puzzle book for children to start learning to think about chess tactics. I believe children has to start with the most simple and basic problems/puzzles, so they learn without to much effort. Anyway I think the best resource about teaching chess to children (adults also) is Chess School for Beginners even better than the famous Learn to Play Chess with Fritz and Chesster but this book is very good for starters. Still couldnt find a really really good book to teach tactics to children, it looks like the chess writters are looking for little genius, focussing in very talented children instead of looking to improve the thinking process of the "regular" kids so they may become "chess genius". OK, I'll keep looking or someday I'll write it myselft :)
