"Lucky 13" is well written, clearly illustrated and a must have for families! The introduction explains simply all the terms and basics of solitaire(some of which are a great brush up for the adult!). Although the book does get into advanced games and strategies, the first section, "Beginning Games" is awesome for any age. My 7 and 5 year olds picked up these games quickly. Order a copy for vacation or home!! A rainy day lifesaver!

I bought this book for my nephew, and he loved it. What a great way to not only have some fun, but also stretch your kid's mind. It is also good for keeping the kids busy on rainy days. This Micheal Street really understands how to explain games to children. Extremely well written.
