GENERAL FEATURES: Fantastic Word Search Puzzles for Kids by Sterling Publishing is designed for hours of thinking fun! Mark Danna knows how to create puzzle challenges that children find irresistible. That’s why Word Search Puzzles for Kids, as well as his other collections, sold 149,700 copies. Now, he’s serving up his sixth helping of ingeniously designed and wildly imaginative word searches that smart youngsters will snap up. Each fun grid is a picture (not a ho-hum square) based on the puzzle’s theme, including one shaped like a unicorn for a Fantastic Creatures search. There are rebuses, too, searches where kids have to make up the word list from clues, and puzzles with extra-special, tricky twists. The icing on the cake: each word search contains a hidden message that youngsters can only decipher after they’ve completed the grid. This book contains 96 pages. Approximately 5 3/8 by 8 1/4 inches.

User Ratings and Reviews
5 Stars My daughter loves it!
After helping me with my puzzles on simple clues such as, City in Iowa, my daughter wanted to be able to do her own crossword puzzles. This book is the answer. She says, “They are fun, and they educate you.” I would highly recommend this for anyone with a budding crossworder.
5 Stars Fun Challenge for Kids — No Electricity Required!
Trip Payne’s “Crosswords for Kids” kept my fourth-grader engrossed for days. The difficulty level was perfect for him — the puzzles were challenging and interesting, but he could do them mostly by himself. He specifically wanted to do crosswords, like his parents, and not word searches or mazes. This book has only crosswords — 40 puzzles, each averaging around 90 clues. I’ve only found one or two other books that rivaled it, and I hope Mr. Payne continues to fill the need for this kind of book.
