Dear adults, Spending time with children helps them develop their abilities. This book will make your time with them more enjoyable and useful. Therefore, it is good to encourage a child to think and notice things: - ask your child to explain why he or she gave you that particular answer to a certain question. - try and analyze if there are other possible answers - encourage your child to observe every illustration and notice as many details as possible - talk to your child while you are solving the problems - ask him or her more questions about a picture - help them stick a sticker they want on an empty space at the top of a page every time they solve a problem. Don’t be discouraged if some problems are too difficult for your child. You can skip them and go back to them later or some other time when they are older. And then, when they open the book again, it will be exciting to see your children suddenly come up with a solution to a problem! Enjoy your time together!
