“My favorite part was the image and puzzle of X.’s brain.
And the ambigram.
And all the interactive work.”
— Emma A., 5th grader
“I love the whole concept. I like how interactive the book is and how it has you moving to different pages to learn new concepts as well as solving all of the puzzles. Overall, I think it is a great way for kids to think in new ways and use higher level thinking.”
— Avery J., Primary School Teacher
