Logic Workbook for Gritty Kids: Spatial reasoning, math puzzles, word games, logic problems, activities, two-player games. (The Gritty Little Lamb ... & STEM skills in kids ages 6, 7, 8, 9, 10.)

Fun for kids , great variety of activities.

I bought this workbook for my 5-year-old to keep his brain active over the summer holidays, and he was very keen to get started. I’d say 5 is about the youngest it would suit. The book includes a variety of puzzles—word searches, number challenges, logic activities, and problem-solving exercises. Most were understandable for him with a little guidance, and a few were more advanced, which stretched him in a good way. He was able to complete most of the puzzles independently, and the trickier ones turned into fun opportunities to work together. For children younger than 5, it would likely be too advanced, but for 5-8 year olds it’s spot on. A great way to keep kids thinking and learning during school breaks. I’ll definitely look at buying other books in this series.

I have received the book just today and have only looked through it quickly. The book is divided into sections, spacial reasoning, math puzzles, logic problems, word games, focus activities, two-player games and answers. I would say that the first few pages of each section could be done by a six year old, possibly with some guidance, but challenging enough to make them fun and interesting. The puzzles gradually get harder so possibly if your child is six it would be a book that he/she grows into. Some of the drawings are not clear as to which animal is which so maybe a page giving each one a name would be helpful for the younger ones. Also be aware that American spelling is used for example colour is spelled color so the spelling games may need to be checked by an adult. On the whole it looks as though it’s a good buy. It’s a fun way for children to learn to think logically and work things out. 4 stars because of American spellings and unclear diagrams, the skunk or is it a cat, badger -or is it a fox, are anyone’s guess. I haven’t tried the puzzles yet so maybe there isn’t a cat or fox. Anyway as said earlier a page at the beginning introducing the characters would clear any confusion up. Also answers are given, but an explanation as to why that is the answer would be useful. Looking forward to trying this out with my 6 year old grandson

This book is exciting and challenging in equal measure. It provides random thinking and mathematical skills and the language used is warm and encouraging

Bold and easy-to-understand diagrams and puzzles. This is a fun learning book for kids. Funny illustrations and diagrams keep the interest going. A wide selection of thought and observation-provoking tasks. It gives parents a heads-up on how their child's level of comprehension. Exercises cover ages 6-19, for now, some may be too hard for the younger ones, but possibly suitable for older Syblins. I recommend the book because of its fun and promotes cognitive reasoning

Absolutely brilliant. My children love this book and regularly want to use them. I have a 3, 5, 7 and 8 year old and they each have the book for their age group. They are learning lots and it’s meant we are interacting more as I work with them on it where they want help. I can’t recommend them enough

Good content but not well illustrated suit an older child 11 to 14 year old

My young granddaughter laps up this kind of 'puzzle'. Logical thinking should be taught as an individual lesson in schools, but isn't. She's ahead of the game and loves working out how to solve the puzzles. It often requires sustained effort and a level of concentration children find difficult in this culture of quick changes, flashes and distracting whistles and bangs. If she's stuck it gives the parent (or granny) a chance to work along side her, verbalising the problem, learning new ways of attacking the problem and then a joint celebration when the problem is solved. This helps to encourage co-operation and communication skills across the age gap. Not a bad thing to today's world. I highly recommend this book.

This book has a variety of fun activities to inspire your child to happily try and want to do more. A few of the activities may require parental help and support to encourage them to continue and or complete the activity. Your child will improve on their skills, build a stronger resilience, be more confident and broaden their logic and ideas. A fun way to learn!

This book has a lots of cool thinking excercises presented in really cool way. My 6 yo son really enjoyed working with it.

La meilleure retrouvailles que je puisse faire, si on sait un peu d’anglais c’est facile à l’utiliser. Les exercices sont très amusants, mon enfant a aimé .

I am a retired math teacher. I have been disappointed with the lack of critical thinking materials my grandchildren use in school (SK - grade 2) This book (part of a larger series of 3-4 books) was a true saviour for us. Not only it makes the kids THINK but my grandkids also ENJOYED doing the tasks/exercises/activities. (My grandson is 6, my granddaughter is 8). Mr Allbaugh (the author) has created (and maybe also collected?) a vast range of tasks - each more interesting than the other. The range of levels of difficulty is perfect: from the ones that would build confidence to ones that require patience and a few tries. Nothing tricky but nothing trivial either. If you care about developing your kids/grandkids critical thinking - do get this! PS: When a kid starts a new task I recommend an adult is there to make sure the kid understands it correctly and starts it successfully.

It is fun and challenging! Helps build critical thinking skills.
