Danielle Hall's experience in developing fun and creative game-based challenges shines through in this high-interest puzzle book for kids. Perfectly Challenging Brain Games for Kids is a must-have for all parents and teachers who want to engage kids in critical thinking and problem solving. My niece cannot get enough of her books, and this one is no exception. With anagrams, rebus puzzles, mazes, and more, your kids will not be able to put this one down. --Bonnie Hamer, owner of Presto Plans Inc, an education-based company for middle and high school English language arts teachers This book had me hooked at Chapter 1 with the word searches! I love that there are different types of puzzles that appeal to different people. I can see these easily being used as a daily lesson warm-up for teachers in the classroom. I also appreciate the fun facts laced throughout the book and that you don't have to complete the puzzles in order. But this book isn't just for kids! Adults who like brain challenges will also get a kick out of these puzzles and riddles. Home run all the way! --Tanya G Marshall, CEO of The Butterfly Teacher
