Perfect gift for children from seven years up
We keep this book in the car and it makes long journeys feel much shorter. Great way to encourage my young son to read as he loves to read out the riddles for us to guess. I think it’s also been good for his brain development in terms of problem-solving and lateral thinking. I’m sure it will help him think about crossword solving when he’s a bit older. Lovely little book and good to get for somebody who is either at the age of being read to or able to read for themselves. It’s also a good one to send as a gift if you don’t know what somebody Is into reading as I would say this is probably has broad appeal for boys and girls.

Addictive. There are errors, and also a few link-errors. Wait for the corrected 2nd edition.
I've read maybe half so far (according to Kindle) but as of course up to half the book consists of the Answers I've nearly finished it. Pace yourself as it can be addictive. I did pretty well, and you get better as you go on, once your lateral-thinking braincells have warmed up. Some riddles aren't worded well enough for there to be only one answer. It's fundamental in quizzes, cryptic crosswords, riddles and suchlike that there should be no ambiguities and, as per Afrit's Law "You need not mean what you say, but you must say what you mean." So far I've noticed 30 riddles where 10 need a minor tweak, 20 need a major tweak; that's a high percentage out of the 100 riddles advertised. Also there are repeats, so it's not really 100 riddles :-) Two riddles go to the wrong answer, so far no.72 and one in the 100s, there may be more - the proof-reading/editing wasn't good enough. I like having it on Kindle as you merely click the Answer link, then the Return to the Question link. A few riddles are more basic wordplay jokes e.g. a favourite from my youth decades ago that I loved seeing again "What orange and sounds like a parrot?" And one or two should be in a different section e.g. in more difficult rather than easy and vice versa. Publisher and author/compiler: please edit and issue a corrected version AND make sure you edit thoroughly before publishing.

just ok.
Just a book. Kids had a bit on attention on it and now it is on the shelf. It is a very basic print.

Problema risolto
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. Do 4 stelle al libro e 5 stelle al servizio di Product Support di Amazon!

What we liked: Varying Difficulty: The riddles range from relatively simple to quite challenging, which kept things interesting and engaged different age levels. Easy to Read: The font is nice and large, making it very accessible for kids to read on their own without straining. Great for Travel: It’s the perfect size to toss in a bag and is a fantastic screen-free way to pass the time during long drives. Final Verdict: If you’re looking for a thoughtful gift that encourages critical thinking and family interaction, this book is a great choice!
