## Description

The Usborne Chess Book (Activity Books): 1 : Lucy Bowman, Usborne Publishing Ltd: desertcart.co.uk: Books

Review: Robust made, useful and personal! - Bought to 6 years old child who can read. He has read through it, at his own pace with no interference nor hlep.There are Challenging situation after every topic and children use stickers at the back to place the right "sticker " chess piece: it helps their understanding about moves and importance of pieces, and teaches them some useful tricks. We have noticed an impressive improvement in games. It is a book that travels with the child. For sibling, I am planning for a new print of the same book, as it is actually a very personal book. Highly recommended.
Review: Best chess book for children - I am starting a chess club in my school and this is definitely the best resource I've seen. It explain every piece, move, facts and more in a very simple but fun way. It is perfect for children to have at home but also as a resource to give to students. I certainly recommend it.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great starter chess book but quickly lacks strategy
*by A***N on 3 November 2022*

It's a great concept - and gives children a solid understanding of the pieces and how they move. It's sticker based with lots of little puzzles to solve. I think the only place it falls down is lack of actual game strategy. Doesn't really explain to kids how to get going in the game. 4/5
