5Tremendous at building Sudoku Skills  Jul 25, 2010
I bought this for my 6yo who'd been watching me do Sudoku. He started on the 4x4 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', 6x6 puzzles. These also started easy, but got more challenging. By the time he was almost at Level 3, 9x9 puzzles, the 6x6 had gotten as hard as 6x6's can get and were taking him ~10 minutes each. Now when he started the 9x9'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!

5Great for a 5th - 6th Grader  Jul 23, 2010
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.

5Will Shortz Sukokus for kids  Mar 18, 2010
I, at first, thought that the Sukoku in this book would be difficult for kids, but, Will Shortz, always the master, didn't disappoint. My 8 year-old granddaughter finds the difficult ones a challenge, but is able to do them. Surprisingly, my 5 year-old grandson, who is a kindergartener is, not only interested, he also has succeeded in completing easiest puzzles and is trying to work his way up. I'm very pleased with this purchase. Kids who enjoy puzzles and challenges will love this book.

5Highly recommended  Aug 17, 2007
This is a great book on Sudoku for kids. The book includes 150 puzzles. The puzzles are of various sizes: 4x4, 6x6, and 9x9. The solutions are at the end of the book. There are four levels of difficulty for the puzzles.

The first four pages in this book are dedicated for strategy, hints, rules, or tips. All the puzzles in the book are Classic Sudoku (with numbers). There are no Alphabet Sudoku (with letters) or Symbol Sudoku (with shapes and symbols) like the two books "Kindergarten Sudoku" and "Super Sudoku for Kids".
