Today nearly all American children at the age of 4, 5 or 6 must take an intelligence test of some sort. The results of this test can have a profound impact on their future education for years to come. The good news is that learning the art of intelligence tests can be a joyous, playful process that builds on the natural curiosity and brilliance of all children.
As leading experts in test preparation, Central Park Tutors has put together a groundbreaking book of puzzles to prepare your little ones for testing, with an in depth introduction that gives parents and teachers the guidance they need to understand both admissions tests and how to work with their children best to use the ingenious ways children naturally learn. 
Each puzzle covers a key form of reasoning on kindergarten and first grade admissions tests- designed in large format, in rich color, and on a single page to allow your child to observe and consider the puzzle at length. The puzzles are ordered by skill level and reasoning type, and directly across from each puzzle are hints so that you have immediate access to guidance that can help your child learn the techniques that will make them independent puzzle-solvers. 
“Puzzles For Young Children” helps parents and teachers bring out the joy in children while they learn, draw out their inner genius and apply their innate brilliance to intelligence testing.

Every summer since 1993, the woods of Maine have witnessed a remarkable attempt to plant the idea of peace in the hearts and minds of the next generation of Middle East leaders. For three weeks, 300 Arab and Israeli teenagers leave behind the violence and hatred ingrained in their homelands to meet their “enemies” face to face. At times it’s an emotionally wrenching process, but it can produce surprising friendships and an enduring belief in coexistence.Seeds of Peace makes the most of the adaptability and enthusiasm of youth, creating a secure environment in which teenagers―supported by trained counselors―can dare to argue with and play alongside one another, to challenge preconceptions, and to envisage a peaceful Middle East. The author vividly describes the camp experience and follows the youngsters’ return home, where despite criticism from friends and families many of them continue to promote Arab-Israeli coexistence.This highly engaging and accessible account of peacemaking in action also includes photographs and feature boxes that help bring alive the complex issues involved.
