Difficult Riddles For Smart Kids: 300 Difficult Riddles And Brain Teasers Families Will Love (Thinking Books for Kids Book 1)

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.

Bought for my 10yo son and he loved it!

We used this book in the car, to keep my son entertained on a long journey. It also came out on holiday when we were at the dinner table or in the hotel room. We’ve even used it as a reason to switch the telly off at Home and for him to test us! Overall he likes this book, it’s great for dipping in and out of or when killing time. It also does get the child thinking and listening very carefully to what’s been said.

Daughter loved it, if she’s happy then I’m happy. Affordable price too

Gave me a lot and it was fun and funny

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.

This was a hit and kept us entertained for ages. The nice thing is that the child has the answers rather than the adults so kids get to feel clever. Many of the riddles work well and are relevant to kids but also tricky even for adults (until you hear the answers, and then they are easy!). There is mixed quality in the questions though, with most of the best ones coming in the first section. Some, particularly in later sections, are weak or a repetition of previous ideas. 8 yr old girl enjoyed it lots. I think it's best suited to ages 8 to 13.

Bought as a gift. They loved it.

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!

Just the right amount of challenge and humour. Our 11 y.o. loves them.

Remplit tout à fait son rôle. Stimulant !

Excellent riddle book, for big & small. Great to spend some time in family or with friends

The quality of the book is exactly what it’s supposed to be, very good. The pages feel nice, the print is clean, and overall, it’s well‑made. The riddles themselves are really fun, and I love that the book includes the answers at the end. As a homeschool mom, this is exactly the kind of thing I was looking for to close our school day with something light and engaging. It’s a fun way to keep my kids thinking without screens, and it works great for quick brain breaks. I also see this being perfect for family gatherings, car rides, or just spending time together. It gets everyone involved, thinking, laughing, and trying to solve the riddles. Overall, it’s a simple but super useful book,fun for kids, fun for families, and a great addition to any homeschool routine.
