The Kids' Book of Crosswords 1

I wasn’t going to leave a review - it’s a perfectly acceptable kid’s crossword book so there’s not much to write, but...There’s another review on here that says their book was sold as new but ‘had clearly been used then the pencil rubbed out.’ The reviewer has also provided photos.As a result of that review, I checked my copy when it arrived and it was clean and new, with no pencilled in/rubbed out answers.My son’s used it for the first time this morning, and mysteriously, there’s now pencilled in answers on other pages. Except they’re not; it’s ink transfer from answered questions on previous pages.Have a look at my photos; you can clearly see the bottom left ‘d’ has transferred, as has the ‘u’ in 3 down. It’s happening when there’s a black square on the following page, and/or my son presses too hard with his pen (very common when you’re a kid!).Anyway, I’ve shoved a folded piece of paper between the pages to give it a bit of padding, and transfer is no longer a problem.

Bought for my autistic son to have a go at - the book is small and cute and not imposing, and the puzzles have a gentle learning curve that won't put my son off giving them a go. I've found that he is always engaged in particular with crosswords in magazines/newspapers, so this is perfect. Bought the corresponding wordsearch book also.

This is a great little book for kids to start doing crosswords, however the paper is so thin that when you use a pencil it goes through to the next 2-3 pages which made my son think it has already been used!

This is a great book. I bought this for my 7 year old grandson. It starts off with really easy crosswords and they gradually increase in difficulty. Obviously it's great for vocabulary and comprehension and the answers are at the back so they learn all the time!!

This was a good price and my 9 year old has really enjoyed doing the puzzles.There are easier and harder clues which is good, and a wide variety of subjects covered. Each puzzle is just the right size to challenge but keep their interest, and the book itself is a handy size for travelling (a little smaller than A5.) A good price and well worth it.
