Customer Feedback

Red Herring Mysteries are a fun and family friendly way of making your brain grow. We’re not always home so we keep this book in the car and everyone participates. The helpful guide at the beginning explains how to get the children to think in a inductive way rather than just guessing the answer, The answers at the back will surprise you. When the older children think they have the answers they then can ask leading questions until the younger ones get it as well. Time in the car melts away as the kids learn and laugh. Joan S, WA. 

Our 4 year old had no problem solving some of the riddles from the first book of Dr. Dooriddles, but we can't say the same for her parents and the stumpers in the third book. Challenging and fun, this series contains scores of rhyming riddles calculated to train the mind in the skills necessary to solve problems creatively.  Craig, Birmingham, AL
