Book excerpt: Puzzles are a great way to learn about a subject, and what could be better during a presidential election year than crosswords about America’s leaders and their spouses? Because they’re so much fun to do, kids will easily absorb and remember the historical facts each one conveys. And these crosswords have a smart twist: instead of solving clues to come up with the right words, children are actually given words to fit into the grid. Their challenge is to figure out where the answer goes. Every puzzle features an entertaining story with phrases that appear in ALL CAPS and bold type. These are the words that belong in the grid, and by counting the letters, kids can begin to place them correctly.
