I have never come across a book about this subject, and it is a good one for public libraries to have. It will appeal to our homeschoolers and conservative families who especially enjoy game time.

Because this is intended for ages 8-12, I would expect it to be more visually interesting.
I wonder how much of this is relevant for the true beginner.

I do like the question/answer format.

Thank you NetGalley and the publisher for the ARC. I will purchase for my library.

This book is great for kids and adults too. I am parent who never played chess. But, I have a kid who wants to learn chess. This book presents the rules in a simple manner so I can learn them and play with my kid.

As someone who's learning chess I am grateful this book was written. It is favored for children but as an adult who knows nothing about chess but wants to learn I found it very helpful. At the time of review, I have scrolled through the book but plan to use it as a reference sheet as I learn. Will buy a physical copy for myself.
