Brain Quest Kindergarten
by Chris Welles Feder
from Workman Publishing Company
Find the picture names. Count the crayons. Start telling time. Plus patterns, mazes, rhymes, "What's Wrong with This Picture?" pictures - and don't forget the Genius Points! Here are 300 questions and answers to open up your child's world of knowledge and build essential learning skills. Ages 5-6. Kindergarten.Curriculum-based! Teacher-approved. Full-color illustrations throughout. Question and answer cards hinged together by a plastic bolt. Two decks come inside a plastic container. 60 cards per deck. Guide Included.
If only all children had someone as friendly and daring as red-haired Ryan the Lion to guide them through all the new learning necessary for successful kindergarten days in the classroom. Cheerful, slightly daffy Ryan can be found on nearly every question card in these two Brain Quest decks--whether he's eyeing some delicious red licorice as he demonstrates numerical concepts ("Which will buy more candy: the penny or the nickel?") or cautiously approaching a bird's nest as he skydives into treetops (in a correct-the-narrative-sequence episode).
While kids are bonding with Ryan (and enjoying the cool construction of these slick, bound decks), parents will thrill at the range of fundamental academic skills and common-sense information that their children will pick up from these fun-to-guess cards. It's all here: questions about the alphabet, spelling, vocabulary, counting, spatial concepts, the physical sciences, as well as demonstrations of right from left, safety rules, and names of computer equipment. There also seems to be the perfect balance of "easy" and "hard" questions in this huge sampling. Kids feel both capable and challenged with Brain Quest, and thus stay with these decks for a long time. (Ages 5 to 6) --Jean Lenihan
Brain Quest Grade 1

Smart, fresher, better than ever. Completely revised and updated to reflect the latest school standards, Brain Quest is the fast-paced educational bestseller that quizzes you on the stuff you need to know, when you need to know it. 750 Questions/Answers to Challenge the Mind. Ages 6-7. Grade 1.Curriculum-based! Teacher-approved! Full-color illustrations throughout. Question and answer cards hinged together by a plastic bolt. Two decks come inside a plastic container. 75 cards per deck. Covers reading, math, language arts, social studies, science, and "grab bag."
When the Brain Quest series moves from preschool age to the first-grade set, it transforms from a playful question game into a sort of elementary school version of Trivial Pursuit. (In the spirit of this new grown-up air, there is no longer a cheerful animal guide appearing throughout the decks.) Now, each card features one question from each of five category sections: Reading, Math, Vocabulary, Social Studies & Science, and Grab Bag. The rules are gentle: Playing in teams, with partners, or solo, you can stick to your favorite subject category or play the whole card. Keeping score (they offer three different versions) is optional.
Though the framework of the game feels very grown-up, the questions are not out of a first grader's league. A math question asks, "What coin is the same as 25 cents?" A sample science question reads, "Name the force that keeps you from floating in the air." There is much good humor in these questions, and the name references are nicely up to date, though not completely contemporary (Beanie Baby references can be found here, but Pokémon's not mentioned). (Ages 6 to 7). --Jean Lenihan

Your 4- to 5-year-old will absolutely delight at how much she or he knows while working with the 300 questions in these Brain Quest decks for preschool children. It's the bunny, of course, that does not live "in a river, swamp, or sea." (That's where the crab and alligator live!) Later, it is not long-lashed Amanda the Panda--the deck's adorable guide figure--"who is eating with chopsticks." (Amanda has a fork. And a light brown bear has a spoon. It's the bunny who has the chopsticks!) Proud of their success in unraveling the answers from these cheerful illustrations, kids will gladly challenge themselves to the harder fare, like finding the rectangle in the picture, or counting the circles on the Olympic flag.
Parents too will enjoy the authors' focus on real-world scenarios and real-world questions. Woven through these happy academic fundamentals are lessons about getting dressed, colors, body parts, and many other concepts that benefit preschoolers immensely. (Ages 4 to 5) --Jean Lenihan
You Gotta be Kidding! The Crazy Book of "Would you Rather" Questions
by Randy Horn
from Workman Publishing Company
Why should grown-ups have all the fun? From the author of Zobmondo!!, the adult party book of outrageous choices, comes You Gotta Be Kidding! Adapted from the hugely popular board game, this interactive and completely engaging book serves up hundreds of bizarre, embarrassing, sometimes ethical and sometimes stomach-churning dilemmas that kids will love to pose to their friends and siblings, whether in the backseat, on a sleepover, at a party, on a rainy day, or during a lull in the lunchroom (if you dare).
Ponder the icky: Would you rather eat 10 pounds of cheese-OR-a bucket of peanut butter—with nothing to drink? The exponentially icky: Would you rather drink liquid found leaking from a garbage can-OR-chew on a hairy clump found between the cushions of an old couch? The fantastic: Would you rather be able to talk with all animals-OR-be able to understand all languages? The priority-testing: As a soccer player, would you rather mess up and score a goal for the other team but still have your team win-OR-play your best game ever even though your team loses? And the hair-raising: Would you rather swim across a river that is filled with crocodiles-OR-spend the night on an island where man-eating tigers live? Fascinating sidebars throughout are filled with interesting ancillary information—the nature of drool, left-handedness vs. righthandedness, what’s dangerously filthy and what’s just gross, why we blush when we’re embarrassed—that will help kids make their choice.
