A great way to introduce young kids to sudoku May 06, 2007
Our 4- and 6- year-old children both love doing these puzzle books. Using the popular characters and stickers are a great way to introduce kids to sudoku--it is both fun and educational!
 Dora the Explorer Sudoku #1 Mar 24, 2007
This is a good way to introduce the logic of Sudoku to young children.
I bought it for my five year old grandson but his three year old sister
enjoyed it too - on a different level (sticker fun).
The Dora theme is appealing to young children and the bright colored stickers
make it fun to solve the puzzles.
I am happy to see there is a second book (which I will purchase) so the
children can continue to enjoy the younger version of this adult game.
The only reason I gave it four stars rather than five was because it did not
include numerical examples.
Great Fun while Problem Solving Jan 10, 2007
We bought this product for our 4 1/2 year old daughter not sure if she would catch on like her 6 year old sister who does sudoku for kids. She really enjoys the puzzles and only needs some direction from her parents. More than enough puzzles and really appreciated that they provided extra stickers. A great deal for the money and we plan on buying more.

I love my Sudoku and my Sudoku loves me Apr 06, 2006
I was confused for a while. I thought Sudoku was mathmatical. I think it was all the numbers and grids that confused me.
But it's not. It's pure logic, numbers are typically used out of convenience but it could be any distinct set of symbols. Dora Sudoku is a good illustration of that point because it uses stickers with pictures on them instead of numbers.
This book is great. When I tell people that I've got my daughter doing Sudokus, they sometimes respond as if I've put my daughter to work at a sweatshop. I guess they see the obsessive way I've gotten into Sudoku and worry that I'm foisting it on her. But I think it's great. Now when I talk about Sudoku we can both get excited together and work on our puzzles. And I'm very impressed with her ability to do them, she's really picked up on it quite well. These are puzzles for kids, of course, two by two boxes within a four by four grid, so we aren't talking about anything too overwhelming. You only need to hold one or two bits of information in your head at a time to solve it. That being said, the logic required to solve the Sudokus is the same logic required to solve more complex ones, just on a smaller scale. Also, the pictures are sometimes similar enough that one would have to pay attention to detail carefully to avoid mistakes. In the easier ones, the four pictures are four different characters on different color backgrounds. But some of them feature the same character in four different poses.
Thumbs up for Dora Sudoku. Anything that gets kids to enjoy books, concentrate, think in steps, and focus on details must be a good thing.

My 3 year old loves it!!! Mar 13, 2006
I picked up this book for my 3 year old daughter after she watched her dad doing Sudoku puzzles. Although it is a challenge, once she did a few with us and learned how to complete the puzzles she took off and started completing them on her own. The puzzles keep her attention. She will complete a few of them at a time. Occasionally 1 or 2 are in the wrong place but she definitely understands the concept and works at them well. I have searched but there are no other books like this out there. Would buy any other book that came out like this.
