Details: I bought this book for my 8 year old, who loves math problems. This book is great for taking along on short trips. The math problems range from simple to tricky and keep him occupied in a fun way. They really just take a few minutes to solve, so the kids don't get tired of it easily; yet make you think about numbers seriously. I have enjoyed doing some of the problems as well, so it is really fun for both kids and adults.
