This book is meant for LITTLE children - like five or six-year-olds. Despite that fact, my husband and I and our very intelligent children were only able to figure out about HALF of these logic puzzles! We're all quite good at logic puzzles, but there were some that just did NOT make sense.
The goal throughout the whole book is to figure out "what comes next". Here are the items listed on page 21 (in correct order): a dog eating, an apple core, someone washing dishes, laundry, kids hanging up a flag, a child raising his/her hand, and the blank... - What comes next?!?!? I still don't know! Oh well. We figured out most of them.
Seriously, the ones we could figure out were neat logic puzzles requiring critical thinking for early elementary age children. There were some that just didn't make sense, though. If there is a teacher's manual, you'll probably want it.
(As a side note, I LOVE volume two in this series. It's excellent.)
