Something surprising happened today. As I started working on the quizzes in 100 PUZZLE QUIZZES (INTERACTIVE PUZZLEBOOK) I discovered I could work them, at least the ones at the beginning. True, the first are the easier quizzes. But, hey, I'm new at these games so I'm pretty proud of myself for getting them right without having to look at the answers. When I started these books, my brain just couldn't figure them out. Now, piece of cake. Umm, for the moment. We'll see as I move ahead to the more difficult ones.The Grabarchuk Family has published a new puzzlebook for E-readers, the first volume of the Top Rated Puzzlebook: Puzzle Quizzes series. The puzzles are original creations by the Grabarchuk Family. The book works on most e-readers and tablets, that use a free Kindle app. The introduction tells you how to play on the different readers. If you choose the wrong answer the first time, you can go back and try again.The Constellation Shapes was one of my favorite quizzes, I guess because the stars fascinate me. As I worked on it and couldn't figure out the answer at first, it dawned on me that some of the puzzles would help children learning to count, which would make the book a nice gift for children on your list. They'd also learn about triangles and circles, cubes and squares. As a former teacher I can picture this being used in the classrooms, since many classes today have iPads or other e-Readers for the students. Children likely would find the quizzes fun as well as challenging.
