Customer Reviews

Grade school mental workout!!!

This book is the best of its kind--nothing comes close to the number and variety of mental puzzles of various levels of difficulty...word games, optical tricks, math puzzles, et cetera. This book is amazing. I've given several to teachers. Excellent for third grade up to high school. The only thing I'd change about the book is the color: the book only has black, white, gray and blue.

Now I want to visit the Exploratorium!

This book is so much fun! It's the best collection of brain teazers and puzzles and games that I've seen. Reading the book made me want to visit the Exploratorium museum in San Francisco.
