Book excerpt: An ingenious twist on a classic word game. Hangman’s a great way for kids to practice their spelling, improve their vocabulary, and have fun...all at the same time. And with this game-filled collection, they can play anywhere and anytime they want--even when there’s no friend around. Each page features one puzzle, and each puzzle has the 26 letters accompanied by silver circles to scratch off. Children choose the letter they want, give it a rub, and see if it’s in the puzzle, and where. But watch out: six misses and they’re hanged!
