The sense of accomplishment in solving a Rubix Cube for the first time is enormous – if you buy this book for your child, be warned, you will forever be hearing those turns and twists.

An excellent guide to solving a Rubik’s Cube. The book is clearly written with great illustrations throughout and easy-to-follow explanations, making it ideal for kids. My godson loved it.

The Rubik’s Cube is old! I had one as a kid so long ago I can barely remember. Now, if I’d had this book then, solving the blasted thing would have been simpler. But it is a complex problem – as this book reveals, given how long it takes to explain in simple language what to do. And the language and pictures are good, and the thing has an interactive feel, the narrator asking questions and posing quizzes to the reader throughout. The biggest issue, though, is: how many potential buyers are out there, given that this is a dated phenomenon? Still, if your kid does somehow acquire a cube, then this is an invaluable resource… though perhaps let them try to work out the solution themselves, first, as we all had to do, before giving them this extended cheat sheet.

This book does not give you the FASTEST way to solve a cube but it does offer a fool proof solution which is VERY easy to learn. I recall when I was a kid (about 11 or 12) getting a book which gave a long list of alternative moves for each situation you might encounter as you solve each layer of the cube but they were far from easy to learn and retain. This cube gives you TWO very basic moves which are then used in different sequences throughout the solution. All you need to remember is how many times you perform the move and what way the cube should be in your hand as you do it. My 9 year old solved his first cube within 3 hours of getting this book and 2 days later he he here now solving cubes without having to refer to the book at all. He's very pleased with himself. I see other reviewers have mentioned the perhaps overly childish descriptive chapters - I would tend to agree with that. But it does not detract from the book's effectiveness. My boy simply skipped over the chapters and focussed on the important parts - the moves.

Clear step-by-step instructions that make solving the Rubik’s Cube simple and enjoyable for kids. A great confidence booster for beginners!

This book brilliantly transforms learning to solve the Rubik's Cube from a frustrating puzzle into a fun, engaging adventure. The step-by-step method, aided by the charming character Ruby and interactive exercises, makes a complex skill accessible for kids. It’s more than just a solution guide, it's a tool that fosters cognitive development, patience, and confidence. A fantastic resource for parents looking to share a rewarding activity with their child. Highly recommended
