Word search puzzles don t get much better than this. Will Shortz, Puzzlemaster for National Public Radio Mark Danna whose earlier Word Search Puzzles for Kids was a huge success has come up with even more smart search challenges to delight brainy youngsters. What makes them so special? First, the letters in every grid form a picture, so instead of ho-hum squares, children get lively shapes. Then, the puzzles feature a few additional twists. Three of the searches don t have word lists, for example; the puzzler has to create them from a series of clues. And finally, each puzzle has a hidden message: once kids have circled all the correct phrases, the uncircled letters will spell out a silly quote, fun fact, or punch line to a punny riddle. "
