“The mind once stretched by a new idea, never returns to its original dimensions.” Ralph Waldo Emerson

This kids book is a collection of 300 brain teasing riddles and puzzles. Their purpose is to encourage children to think and stretch their minds.

These are more difficult riddles for kids and are designed to be attempted by children from 10 years onwards, as well as participation from the rest of the family.

It is a perfect activity book for kids who like problem solving. These activities can be shared with the whole family.

my 8 yrs old boy likes it very much. The book is kind of thin. Don't let your kids to read the answer. Test them and let them think first. give them plenty of time to think.

    My son loves this book. He loves to think about the riddles and discuss them within the family. Some are harder than the other, but as soon as he figures it out, he is really proud of himself :).
    He is 8. 4 stars since it's a small book, compared to the price, but it is a hit in my household!

    Il libro è interessante, gli indovinelli carini. Ma dopo averlo lasciato chiuso per un paio di mesi, non si apriva più... Ho inviato una segnalazione ad Amazon: dopo 5 minuti mi ha contattato al telefono un addetto di Amazon che ha risolto il problema.
