Tremendous at building Sudoku Skills
By Lou Wainwright
I bought this for my 6yo who’d been watching me do Sudoku. He started on the 4×4 problems and was knocking them out in a couple of minutes each. He worked straight through for about an hour and made it through 35 getting to ‘Level 2′, 6×6 puzzles. These also started easy, but got more challenging. By the time he was almost at Level 3, 9×9 puzzles, the 6×6 had gotten as hard as 6×6′s can get and were taking him ~10 minutes each. Now when he started the 9×9′s he didn’t get frustrated that they took longer, and he knew that as long as he didn’t give up he’d get the answers.
Frankly, I can’t imagine how any book could have done a better job of teaching him Sudoku, such that he is confident with full size puzzles!

Great for a 5th – 6th Grader
By Michael P. Gallagher
I ordered this for something for my just completed 5th grader to do this summer. I would say it is challenging for someone at that age – not too hard, but not too easy, and I highly recommend this compilation of puzzles. Games like these are great as it gets them thinking vs. the sterotypical playing video games and watching TV.
