Another good one from Murray Chandler
This book contains 50 standard tactical situations that are explained in a clear manner. I agree with many of the reviewers that it is somewhat above beginner level. But most kids will be there soon enough. It is also an excellent review for stronger players. I highly recommend it.Regarding Public Defender's comments about the answer to puzzle #22 on page 120 I think he must be referring to a different book. There is a puzzle #22 on page 120 in this book, however in the starting position of the puzzle the white Queen is on d1, so the first move of Qf5 that he suggests is impossible.

Not just for kids
This is an excellent book for all ages. I attend a chess group for mature persons, and this book was recommended by our instructor, who uses it in our study, so I wasn't put off by the title. The tactics are explained very clearly and often with passion and wit, with eight board diagrams over a double page to explore each tactic. The level is often well above mine (ECF grade: 65) but it is easy to grasp the tactics as they are so well explained and demonstrated. I have most of the other books in this series and would recommend all.
