How to Solve a Rubik’s Cube for Kids: The Only Book Kids Will Ever Need to Solve The Rubik’s Cube (Solving the Rubik's Cube for Kids) Paperback – June 5, 2023

As a 69 year old grandma, I have been successful in solving my Rubix cube with your clear instructions. I tried several other YouTube videos and tutorials with no success! Thank you so much!

I am 49. My son is 9. I have spent my whole life just noodling around with a Rubik's cube when I see one, having absolutely no idea what I am doing, and consequently getting absolutely nowhere. Up until now, they have just been a piece of nostalgia.Well NOT ANYMORE! This book was just lovely. It is written very well with excellent illustrations. My 9 year old MAY have been able to do it by himself, but he and I had absolutely no issues doing it together. The author presents one very straight forward system for working through the cube layer by layer that, as long as you stay focused, is very effective. It works ALMOST every time. I continually had issues with chapter number 7 not working correctly...but chances are it is something that I'm doing. Regardless, my son and I both thoroughly enjoyed the book and have now solved Rubik's cubes dozens of times in the past week.The author also includes a link to videos for each step. These are great. The book is so clear they aren't really necessary, but if you get stuck it's a nice way to get extra help. I wish these videos also had spoken instruction, but the fact that they exists at all is great.I would love if the book had more resources/recommendations at the end with where to go next once you master this system, but I am soooo glad I got this one. Kudos and thanks to Gabriel Nedelcu (the author!)PS....do yourself a favor and buy yourself a speed cube. Sooooooo much nicer than that creaky thing I grew up with.

Over thanksgiving break from school, my two daughters ages 12 and 7, and I decided we wanted to learn to solve a Rubik’s cube. It took us less than a week, and we have all learned to solve it! This book is awesome, it was interesting and fun, an excellent activity for our family. I recommend it to everyone we talk to, and I will be buying some for Christmas presents! Book also has a QR code that takes you to YouTube videos should you need further visual help. But the book will totally be sufficient! My kids took the book everywhere! In the car, restaurants! Thanks Mr. Gabriel!

I purchased two copies of this book- one for my seven year old granddaughter while she was visiting with us and one for myself. My granddaughter was able to solve the first several steps independently by following the book. It is clearly written and appealing to young children. The illustrations are invaluable. My granddaughter had to hop on a plane to return home before totally solving the cube but I am confident she will- because after she left, I picked up my copy of the book and started working through it. Incredibly, I did it! I am 77 years old and I did it! Oh happy day!!! I feel so accomplished. Thank you Gabriel Nedelcu.

It took multiple attempts due to various mess-ups on my part, but this book does walk you through a valid algorithm for solving the cube. I prefer this book format vs. YouTube videos because it's easier to set it down and practice some moves and then pick the book back up. I went crazy trying to pause and rewind the videos. Also, full disclosure, I'm reviewing as an adult...my child is not as into it as I am. But maybe once she sees me solve it multiple times I can coax her into participating!

perfect birthday gift for my grandson

I give the author credit for trying to make the book more approachable for children but it turned them off. My kids just wanted to get to the solving steps and not write their age, name and weight in book or make friends with the cube.

Really easy to follow, lots of pictures, my niece loves it.
