I work with children mainly from Key Stage 2 and have used lots of the ideas from this book, I like the user-friendly layout and flexible ideas.

This book is fantastic! We keep it in the kitchen and I use it to spark discussion when we have lots of children round the table. The exercises would work well in schools, but are equally applicable at home. Best of all, the kids do not feel that they are "learning", they just know that when the book comes out, interesting things happen.

My eldest loves this book, his siblings are too young but say they want a book like it! Easy to pick up and do one exercise, or several. Varied, appropriately challenging and a welcome change to the repetitive homework format delivered by school.
