The Kids' Book of Crosswords 1 (Buster Puzzle Books)

Our four year-old became obsessed with newspaper crosswords and this book is perfect - it starts off with shorter, simpler puzzles and gradually becomes more difficult. There are 150+ puzzles so it’s great value. Highly recommend for young ones.

Great crossword book for kids. Small pocket size which i was unaware of. Still happy with purchase

Considering the good content of the book which I can see will keep my child busy, however I find the paper of poor quality and the book size could have been bigger as well.

Book in sections from Beginner to advanced. Granddaughter was able to build up her confidence, understanding the clues and skills gently and with success.

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.

I bought this book along with the wordsearch book for my little boy. He loved it. It keeps him occupied when we are out for meals, or appointments and it helps him with his spelling and writing without him knowing. I dont bother timing him, I just leave it to him to do in his own time. A handy little book that fits into your bag and comes in so handy. A good book for the price. A happy child = a happy mum.

Nice size for a child and about the right level of clues

Great book
