Perfectly Logical!: Challenging Fun Brain Teasers and Logic Puzzles for Smart Kids

The puzzles/games get kids thinking, without screen time too! Good for 9 year Olds. Plenty of choices for problem solving abilities.

We use this book for our morning basket or in the evening when we read before bed. I like that the different style puzzles start easy then increase in difficulty as you move on to the next puzzle in that category. The book could be used for different ages as well by working the easier ones with the littles and the more difficult ones with the uppers. There were some puzzles that really got my gears turning too. It doesn’t feel or look like a cheap, slapped together book either. I have nothing negative to say about the durability, color saturation, or print. I’m extremely satisfied with this purchase.

My 6-year-old has been absolutely loving Perfectly Logical!: Challenging Fun Brain Teasers and Logic Puzzles for Smart Kids. This book is filled with a variety of brain teasers and logic puzzles that are engaging and educational. It's great to see my child's problem-solving skills improving while having fun at the same time. I highly recommend this book for any parent looking to challenge their child's mind in a fun and engaging way.

Pros:- Fun puzzles- great for kids or adults trying to maintain/develop cognitive ability (I am 31 and recovering from a brain injury)- colorful- varietyCons:- a few puzzles that are incorrect or don’t have enough information to properly solve it- some of the crosswords are printed too small and are hard to read (but the rest of the book is plenty large print)- one of the crosswords is so outdated (even though the book is published in 2019) there is no way a kid today would know the answers. I’m 31 and didn’t know the answers because of the old fairy tales

This book has a great variety of puzzles and activitiesCrossword, sudoku, logic puzzles, find the pattern, decoding etc.The pages are a good quality and colorful, not cheaply made.My 6 year old is thoroughly enjoying this. He definitely needs help solving some of these so it's a great family activity for us. Some of the puzzles even stumped the parents 🙂 my husband and I often find ourselves engrossed in trying to solve some of the brain teasers which are the most difficult puzzles at the end of each chapter.I’m afraid that once we finish this, it’s going to be hard to find other books to match this one!Love that it keeps us away from the screen for hours!

Our 8 and 11 year old boys are really enjoying this 👏

I use this in my 5th grade classroom as challenge problems and whole group warm ups!

My daughter liked some of these puzzles, especially the matchstick moving ones.However, as someone who teaches logical inference at the university level: many of problems require leaps of intuition beyond the information in the puzzle. (Which is problematic for teaching logic, because logic is very much about NOT relying on intuition.)For example, one of the pattern recognition puzzles had six random shapes and then a blank. The "correct" answer is that the 6-shape pattern starts again and the next shape should be the same as the first in the series. But there is not actually any logical reason to assume a pattern from the given information.Similarly, a logic puzzle on aliens and their favorite earth food says that a certain alien "loves breakfast foods." It does not logically follow from this information that his favorite earth food is pancakes (which is supposed to be the correct answer). It is possible to love breakfast foods and prefer, say, pickles, which is another answer. Plus we definitely can't rule out pancakes as the favorite food of the alien with the sweet tooth.Also...there is a set of analogy problems that uses letters, but the analogies are about the shapes of the letters, not the meaning. So F is to E as I is to....well, I would say J, because J comes after I like F comes after E. But the "correct" answer is L, because that's what you get when you add a horizontal line to the bottom of the letter I. ARGH. The analogy being made in analogy problems for kids really needs to not be ambiguous.Puzzles with "best guess" or trick answers aren't really enjoyable and they don't really teach logic well either.

Good layout and puzzles.

Good book, but sadly outer parcel received damaged so some pages were a bit bent. Content definitely suitable for an 8yr old and my son was very happy receiving this.

Something wrong with the print of the text.Two pages are okay and the next two pages have overlapped text which makes you dizzy. The entire book has the same issue. I’ve requested for the refund but I like the contents of the book but not sure whether the other copies are all good.

Good assortment of puzzles
