Sudoku for Kids - Andrew Heron

Sudoku is a hybrid: its name derives from Japanese (loosely translated it means 'number in allotted place') and its form can be traced back to the magic squares invented in 18th century Switzerland. The result is a numerical brainteaser that is fiendish, compulsive, and, in the simplicity of its rules, 'sublimely beautiful'. This collection is perfectly pitched to enthrall children from the age of 8 upwards.

The book features 45 puzzles and there are 4 levels of difficulty ranging from very gentle to tough.
