About this book
The sudoku book that starts before numbers.
Most kids’ sudoku books hand a six-year-old a grid of digits and hope. This one begins with four friendly SHAPES — star, heart, moon, sun — so even a pre-reader can learn the one rule of sudoku, then climbs all the way to real 9×9 grids.
- A walked-through first solve — "How Sudoku Works" shows a puzzle being solved square by square before your child tries one
- Stage 1: shape sudoku (20 puzzles) — no numbers, no reading, just looking
- Stage 2: numbers 1–4 (20 puzzles) — the same grids, now with digits
- Stage 3: 6×6 grids (32 puzzles) — the training wheels come off
- Stage 4: real 9×9 sudoku (22 puzzles) — gentle clue counts, real achievement
- One puzzle per page, large print — big cells made for young pencils
- Playful picture frames to color — a smiling sun and rainbow, pond friends, a mountain waterfall, ladybugs, worms, bees, butterflies, birds on a wire and hanging vines take turns around every grid from first shapes to 6×6, while the 9×9 puzzles get the whole page
- Exactly one answer, never any guessing — a computer program proved both for every single puzzle, and rejected any puzzle a child couldn't solve by pure looking
- Every answer in the back, plus a ladder page to color a star per stage and a certificate at the end
For ages 4–8, in a big 8.5 × 8.5 inch format. A pencil is the whole kit.
