About this listen
Put on your thinking caps because these questions are about to get tricky. Did you know that a crocodile cannot do this simple move that an alligator can easily do? Do you know what has feathers and can fly, but is not alive? How about the only place where Friday comes before Thursday?
Riddles have a way of making us think beyond our usual patterns and come up with creative solutions to outrageous questions.
They develop one’s inventiveness and imagination through humorous and mind-boggling brain busters that can be interpreted in a multitude of ways.
With over 300 brain-twisting riddles ideal for kids ages 9 to 12, Awesome Riddles for Kids offers a fun and unique way to bond with your kids while getting them to exercise their brain at the same time. Here is just a fraction of what you will discover inside:
- An entertaining and stimulating way to enjoy time with your family, without having to resort to silly cartoons or pointless computer games
- 30 brain-teasing anagrams to help your kids discover new words to add to their ever-growing vocabulary
- Head-scratching “Who Am I?” queries that will force your kids to think outside the box and strengthen their creative thinking process
- Wacky drawings you can also use as a storytelling challenge to encourage your kids to describe and explain different situations with just an image
- Tricky situational riddles that develop critical thinking and problem-solving skills to figure out “how did it happen?”
- Intriguing content covering a broad range of topics that will surely initiate some inquisitive questions you’ll need to be prepared to answer
- A handy conversation starter that will pique your child’s curiosity and help them discover new interests to explore
And much more.
If you’ve had enough of your kids constantly playing video games or scrolling through social media, challenge them to this productive activity they can do between breaks from homework or on a lazy day at home.
Whether they get the answers right or not, the important thing is getting them to think in new and creative ways. You’ll find out how their minds work and how they tackle simple and complex problems with their own unique methods. You may be pleasantly surprised (and even amused!) by their unexpected answers.
If you want to really get your kids thinking hard instead of hardly thinking, then scroll up and click the "buy now" button right now.

Richard Dawkins, the world’s most famous evolutionary biologist, presents a gorgeously lucid, science book examining some of the nature’s most fundamental questions both from a mythical and scientific perspective. Science is our most precise and powerful tool for making sense of the world. Before we developed the scientific method, we created rich mythologies to explain the unknown. The pressing questions that primitive men and women asked are the same ones we ask as children. Who was the first person? What is the sun? Why is there night and day?

Story
Clint Smith's debut poetry collection, Counting Descent, is a coming of age story that seeks to complicate our conception of lineage and tradition. Smith explores the cognitive dissonance that results from belonging to a community that unapologetically celebrates black humanity while living in a world that often renders blackness a caricature of fear. His poems move fluidly across personal and political histories, all the while reflecting on the social construction of our lived experiences.

Japan, after suffering from a massive irreparable disaster, cuts itself off from the world. Children are so weak they can barely stand or walk: the only people with any get-go are the elderly. Mumei lives with his grandfather Yoshiro, who worries about him constantly. They carry on a day-to-day routine in what could be viewed as a post-Fukushima time, with all the children born ancient - frail and gray-haired, yet incredibly compassionate and wise. Mumei may be enfeebled and feverish, but he is a beacon of hope, full of wit and free of self-pity and pessimism.

Now, Smith's highly anticipated Companion Piece looks to the future and builds upon this "time-sensitive project". This new novel stands apart from the Quartet, which remains discrete unto itself.

The narrator's memories and preoccupations often echo those of our current moment - for here are stories of immigration and community, inclusion and exclusion, suspicion and trust.

Story
By acclaimed writer Nora Raleigh Baskin, this is the eye-opening depiction of an autistic boy's daily and lifelong struggles to exist in a "neurotypical" world. The only place sixth grader Jason Blake can be himself is online, where he posts the short stories he writes. It's there that Jason finds Rebecca. Though the two have common ground, Jason can't face the consequences that meeting Rebecca might bring - but if he doesn't meet her, there's no chance to have a real relationship.

Story
Fusing Keatsian mists and mellow fruitfulness with the vitality, the immediacy, and the color hit of Pop Art, Autumn is a witty excavation of the present by the past. The novel is a stripped-branches take on popular culture and a meditation, in a world growing ever more bordered and exclusive, on what richness and worth are, what harvest means.

The future is blue - endless blue...except for a few small places that float across the hot, drowned world left behind by long-gone fossil fuel-guzzlers. One of those patches is a magical place called Garbagetown. Tetley Abednego is the most beloved girl in Garbagetown, but she’s the only one who knows it. She’s the only one who knows a lot of things: that Garbagetown is the most wonderful place in the world, that it’s full of hope, that you can love someone and 66% hate them all at the same time.

Story
One of the world's 50 living autistic savants is the first and only to tell his compelling and inspiring life story and explain how his incredible mind works. Worldwide, there are fewer than 50 living savants, those autistic individuals who can perform miraculous mental calculations or artistic feats. (Think Dustin Hoffman's character in Rain Man.) None of them has been able to discuss his or her thought processes, much less write a book. Until now.

Moored in a coastal fishing town so far north that the highways only run south, the unnamed narrator of The Seas is a misfit. She's often the subject of cruel local gossip. Her father, a sailor, walked into the ocean 11 years earlier and never returned, leaving his wife and daughter to keep a forlorn vigil. Surrounded by water and beckoned by the sea, she clings to what her father once told her: that she is a mermaid.

Hours of Fun and Laughter!
I got this audiobook for my 10-year-old daughter, and she loves it! The riddles and trick questions are perfect for her age group, challenging enough to make her think but not so hard that she gets frustrated. We listen to it together in the car, and it’s turned our rides into fun, brain-teasing sessions. It’s great for stimulating creative thinking and problem-solving skills, and I’ve even found myself stumped a few times! A fantastic choice for kids who enjoy puzzles and a bit of humor.
