Summary: Good book
Comment: I'm very happy with this book. It does just what it promises: teaches kids how to solve word problems in beginning-level algebra. I wish I'd had a book like this when I was in school. It gives detailed explanations which are easy to understand.

Summary: Good, until the last problems
Comment: If you are looking for help in understanding algebra problems then I definitely recommend this book. Inside you will find helpful hints and practice that will help you tackle a wide range of problems from distance, coins, finance, quadratics, work, numbers, etc. The Supplementary problems after each chapter are helpful, and are well explained. So if you make any mistakes in doing them you will be able to go through step by step and see where the mistake was.
I do have one complaint. While the book does a great job with explaining the answers throughout the the text, the authors unfortunately decided that no explanations were needed in the last (Miscellaneous) section. While some of the problems shouldn't be too hard, others are, and without explanation you will learn little. This wouldn't be much of a problem, except people who buy this book are most likely not very good or comfortable with word problems to begin with. Therefore, the most explanation possible should be included, and in this section it is not.
Still, if you want a good introduction, I would reccomend this book.
