    Good, funny, but one error

    10/11/11| Adrian Thomas-Prestemon
    Puzzlers, especially for children, should not have errors that are impossible to overcome. The card "Doggie Do!" has an error in the method of solving the riddle, where it says "The correct answer has an 8 in the ones place," when, in fact, the correct answer has a 0 in the ones place.

    Please contact the publisher(s) about this error and have them make absolutely sure that their cards don't have confusing errors that will frustrate the children reading them.

    Otherwise, the cards are funny, witty, and intelligent, and they teach important logic skills and math abilities. I would gladly recommend this series to the parents or relatives of any child between the ages of 5 and 9 (yes, younger than the intended range -- why not push the kids a little and teach them some drive to learn ahead of the "curve?"), along with a few others we have tried and loved (Mensa, Ocean, etc.).
