Great learning tool that doesn't look like a learning tool
Bought this for my 6 year old. Some of the are harder than others and I needed to help a little but for the most part he offered to do them by himself and did great. He laughed at the problems and the names of the animals and their situations. They are silly and fun... quite age appropriate. He's above average in his grade level reading and math so i am guessing it would be great for anyone 2nd grade and up. I actually got hooked on them myself... its fun way to think about things differently. I'd just write my answers on a separate piece of paper. I love how they are called puzzles and not math problems it was way easy introduce them as a fun game. Great for car rides and just something fun to do after school or in the evening to wind down instead of reading to change things up. The quality of the book is great. All the answers seemed correct... no typos or any typing misaligned. Book was sturdy enough to be dragged around on a trip and and in and out of the car and not bent or torn. Its not a hard cover workbook, but the plastic keeps it in good repair.

Learning without knowing!
The Perplexor Basic level is really fun for my 6 yr old grandson. It took a couple scenarios that I needed to help him w and then he just ran with it. He’s just now getting to the three row exercise and is struggling. We’ll do all the two rows three columns if there any left. Will save the book until next year for when he is seven. Logic is a great way to learn to think in an orderly manner.

He Loves It
I purchased this for my 8 year old son as something to do other than electronics. He loves figuring out the logic puzzles and is flying through the book. I would recommend this!

My 7 year old grandaughter just loves solving these. She took my Brain Teasers free copy home so I bought her these.

My teacher handed these out to us. These were so fun and the levels let everybody complete them but still have to think.

Whether these are simple or complicated, they are fun to do. (And I'm quite a bit OVER 9 years old!!!)

Great item. Loads of fun, and the whole family can work to solve them together. The Perplexors are so interesting, you forget that you're developing problem solving skills because you're having so much fun.

Great Challenges
These books are excellent. I am a retired teacher and like the challenges. I only wish I had access to this series as a teaching tool back when I was teaching.

Tricky
I believe puzzle 12 was wrong in the answer page. You see after I finish a puzzle I check the answers. In puzzle 12 the first question clearly stated that fur coats were never mentioned to the rabbit with the plum colored hat because she really disliked them, and question three stated that Millie did not dislike fur coats. Yet in the answers you have Mavis with a plum colored hat and fur coats. Millie with the umber hat and rubber carrot.
