Superstar Sudoku for Kids

This is a fantastic book for kids to get introduced to sudoku. The book begins with easy 2x2, then 3x2 and finally gets to regular 3x3 puzzles. It was really easy to explain to my seven year old how to figure them out and he would rather spend an hour with sudoku than video games.

This book has 120 Sudoku puzzles with grids of 4x4, 6x6, and 9x9. All the puzzles are of the classic type using numbers. There are no alphabet sudoku puzzles that are played with letters. The puzzles increase gradually in difficulty from the beginning to the end of the book. Although this book is for kids, the simple 4x4 puzzles are limited to only 20 puzzles. For a book with solely 4x4 puzzles and with alphabet sudoku, check the book "Kindergarten Sudoku".

How to understood Sudoku - start off with "Superstar Sudoku for Kids". Great book for children and adults that have never played this game. I am an adult and wanted a book that was simple to understand but at the same time taught me how to play this game. After a week I understood how to play Sudoku and have since moved on to more adult complex Sudoku. This was definitely the starting point for me. I then purchased this book for a friend who did not have the patience to take time out to read some complicated instructions. I recommend this book as one of the best beginner books for children and adults. I am now hooked on Sudoku.

There are so many Sudoku books for kids on the market, I really didn't know which one to choose. In the end I decided I liked the look of the cover of this one and that is how I made my decision! I don't regret it for a moment. I have 3 kids, aged 6, 7 and a bit, and 10, and they have so much fun doing these sudoku puzzles. The puzzles in the book are very carefully graded, starting with very easy 4x4 puzzles and progressing through more difficult 4x4s to easy 6x6s, then through more difficult 6x6s to a series of 9x9s. It seems to me that if you start at the right place for your kids and follow the order of the book, the kids get gradually better and better. My 6 year old started with the 4x4s and is now doing the harder 6x6s and really enjoying them! At the end of the book there are some "Extra" puzzles which have a code word hidden in them. I haven't seen this kind of sudoku puzzle anywhere else, but my eldest daughter really loves them. We would like more of these. This is a great book - chunky, fun and great value for money! Your kids will definitely enjoy it.
