I'm an 8th grade teacher (teaching US history) and I use these crosswords as optional brain teasers for my students. Sometimes I give them to students who are finished with a class assignment to keep them busy and thinking about Social Studies. Students enjoy the challenge and learn something along the way. I have bought other "puzzle"-type books, but this is by far my favorite, because students don't need any specific content-type prior knowledge before tacking the crosswords - all the info needed is right there. It was well worth my "investment". Buy it!

I've been very pleased with this book. It's a variety of maps (including a floor plan of the white house) which comprehensively teaches map-reading skills. My son is gifted, age 9 and in the 5th grade, and he did struggle at very first with the thoroughness needed to complete the crossword puzzles. He needed supervision and help. It was good to see him struggle and work (evil Mom grin) instead of dashing out easy answers. He's learned to slow down, analyze, and search for the answers and I've noticed that this has carried over to his other work. I'm very glad that I chose this book for him and I would choose it again.
