Amazon.com Review
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 Pokemon's not mentioned). (Ages 6 to 7). --Jean Lenihan

 lots of fun for a 1st grader December 3, 2007

My son really enjoyed the questions, and had us go through the entire deck in one long car ride. recommended.
Great brain teasers! November 28, 2007

I look back with great fondness of using the Brainquest series in my youth. A combination of Uncle John Bathroom reader type info, and brain teasers to get you to think, the whole set definitely is worth the price. I will definitely buy these when I have children of my own, as I know this helped many a boring car trip or lazy afternoon in my youth.
 Just Not The Same July 28, 2007

We have Brain Quest for ages 3-4 and 5-6. My children love them and the pictures are great--very helpful for the pre-reader group. I recently bought the Brain Quest for ages 6-7 for air travel and my 6 year old daughter was very disappointed. She doesn't like that there aren't any illustrations throughout the entire 750 Questions and Answers. Each page looks the same with only topic symbols. I suppose a 7 year old might enjoy this format better than a 6 year old. I would stick with the 5-6 Brain Quest for as long as you possibly can before you move on to the Brain Quest for Ages 6-7.
Another Favorite!! January 16, 2007

I buy every Brain Quest package available each year, according to my son's age. They're easy to travel with & he loves proving that he knows SO MUCH. Just enough easy ones to make him confident & enough harder ones to keep him challenged. I suggest the math version, too. We keep them in the car, in his room, in the living room, in his suitcase, etc. Great illustrations & visual stimulus for visual learners too.
