    Great Illustrations for the Young Reader

    This book wins hands down when it comes to the illustrations, pictures and diagrams for very young readers. The reading ability required to understand the material is around third grade, and it does a good job for a second or third grader, though older readers should consider "Chess for Everyone; A Complete Guide for the Beginner" (my favorite introductory book on chess) or "Learn Chess" by Aleander and Beach". For kids under age 7 reading levels a parent will be needed to help read the material.

    Excellent introduction for Kids

    I play chess, but how do you teach your son (or daughter)? This book is an excellent introduction in teachiong young people how to play chess. Big colorful pictures you expect from DKpub, and easily explained on the rules and movements of the pieces. Mr Basman is an International Master who now teaches school children. He is MUCH more qualified in starting my son out in chess than I am! A fine purchase that will be used as a reference for some time.

    Good for older kids

    First picked this up in the public library for my five year old grandson.
    I liked it, because it was a great refresher for me...but it was a little over his head. I would recommend it for 10 years old and up.

    Well done to catch the eye making it interesting for kids though not a lot of material

    Just looking for a simple book for the very young reader (under nine) that will provide basic material? This book will do well in this respect. If you have an older child (9 on up) there are more comprehensive and better organized books available (examples: Lasker's Manuel of Chess for adult readers, Chess for Everyone for older children and adults). Along the same lines of this book is Chess for Children.
    Chess for Kids has plenty of Colour and diagrams to provide visualization. Don't particularly like the order of presentation, which can be a bit confusing, especially for a child. Children under 7 will not be able to read this book and older children over 9 would do better with a more complete book. So we are really talking about an age range of 7 to 9 here.

    Good illustrations for children - well organized

    For it's intended readers this book has very nice illustrations and is well organized. The only drawback is that it has a lay out for children under age 9, but requires a reading ability for age 10+! Kind of self defeating. I do feel that a parent who wants to read this book to the under 9 year old can find this book useful. Yet, for a child age 10 or older there are more suitable books available.

    Nice Illustrations - OK instruction

    This is clearly a 5 star book for nice pictures/illustrations. However, it falls short when it requires a young kid (under age 12) to understand the reading level.

    Nice illustrations instruction is fair

    This is a good book for a parent to read to their child as the reading level is too high for young kids. It has nice illustrations. The way to instruction is organized could be improved to make it a bit more clear.
