What's inside
- 216 sudoku puzzles: 72 4×4, 72 6×6 and 72 9×9
- 4×4 grids first — only the numbers 1 to 4, and only four squares to a box
- 6×6 grids next, then full 9×9 grids for when a child is ready
- Difficulty rises gradually inside each section rather than jumping between them
- A solutions section at the back, numbered to match the puzzles
- Large 8.5 × 11 pages with bold, simple grids and big writing space
Four to six is early for sudoku, and the grid size is what makes it possible. On a 4×4 puzzle a child is placing the numbers 1, 2, 3 and 4 into sixteen squares, which is closer to a matching task than a logic problem. The book is ordered the same way: the rule comes first, on the smallest grid, and the larger grids come later.
What to expect
✓
A real first puzzle book
The opening 4×4 grids are simple enough to finish alongside a parent on the first try.
✓
Numbers without arithmetic
Sudoku never asks a child to add anything. The task is to place each number once in every row, column and box.
✓
It lasts
The 6×6 and 9×9 sections are there for when the 4×4 grids have become too easy.
