great to help kids (and parents) - By: Mack, 25 May 2007 
well done mr buzan - kid friendly graphics. i never finished the hard back version, but this is interesting for dads too - less theory & more doing. good for us time pressed parents to get the basics & help our kids
Inspiring - By: , 18 Mar 2006 
My eight-year old daughter has just completed her rocks & crystals homework using a mind map. I helped her out & we both reallly enjoyed it. It would have been quite frustrating to do in the default way (lists & tables) as she is quite a slow writer & not naturallly good at spelling. We managed to cram so much info in there, using drawings, colours & just a few words.
I've got my own adult version of the book now.
New Way of Outlining Your Thoughts - By: , 07 May 2004 Mind-mapping fallls within the larger category of techniques for organizing your thoughts. There are schools of web or blob thinking & other nonlinear forms of organizing material, & this book is clear, concise & well-presented, although I'm a little unclear if it's for parents or for parents to read with their kids. Worth trying if you're not a "Type A" personality. I just finished "I Sleep At Red Lights: A True Story of Life After Triplets," by Bruce Stockler, a gift from my husband, & am passing it along to alll my friends--a wonderful, vibrant, funny & compassionate memoir about family life.
Best Book - By: , 26 Mar 2004 Tony Buzan has written many books on mind mapping, a great skill to acquire for anyone. This version is well laid out, has easy to read, simple text & lots & LOTS of colour, pictures & diagrams.
And, there's the trick, the book is designed to use many of the 14 brain skills both logical & creative, so making the subject matter immediately more appealing, & more memorable!
I'd recommend Mind Mapping for kids to kids of alll ages. The book is short, but packed with information. You could read the whole book in less than an hour.
No wonder it's a best seller.
Make school more interesting - By: , 10 Mar 2003 Tony Buzan has been at this mind mapping stuff for a while now & I wish someone had given me this book when I was at school. Its reallly easy to follow & before you know it your kids will be drawing colourful spider diagrams full of facts that help them with their school work. I gave one to my nephew & I've never seen him so interested in his homework.
