Smart Is as Smart Does contains a wide variety of clever word games to challenge and amuse readers both young and old. The brainteasers have answers that are obvious but often overlooked. They're surprising and fun. The mental exercises help improve thinking skills, memory and concentration. There are three sections in the book of increasing challenge: (1) Brain Warm-ups, (2) Brain Workouts and (3) Brain Bogglers. Each section includes a light-hearted evaluation of brain power for additional fun. A page for personalized, good-humored gift giving is also included. Smart Is as Smart Does is Battaglia's fourth book in his Smart Series of playful brain games. His puzzles are like a box of chocolates, you never know which ones are gonna be hard.

Smart Is as Smart Does is Pat Battaglia's fourth book in his popular Smart Series. He also writes a newspaper puzzle column that has been in syndication for over 25 years. Battaglia has devised his special brand of games to challenge and amuse readers of all ages and educational levels from elementary school students to adults to seniors. The mental exercises were developed to be irresistibly challenging and educational as well. To emphasize the fun nature of his brainteasers and to celebrate his former career in rocketry, Battaglia dons his rocket scientist costume and becomes known as Dr. Fun.
Being 'SMARTER THAN A 5TH GRADER' is only the beginning! This book made me really think. I loved it! --Jeff Foxworthy
Geniuses are made, not born. Smart Is As Smart Does: Brain Games to Reveal the Genius in You is an activity and trivia book from 'Dr. Fun' Pat Battaglia, who encourages readers to test their mind and keep it sharp even if they can't exactly fully understand the fine specifics of Einstein's theory of relativity. From mathematics to English and much more, Smart Is As Smart Does is educational, entertaining, and quite useful, a must for anyone who wants to get those cobwebs of disuse out of their gray matter. --Midwest Book Review
You don't have to be an 'Einstein' to figure out the puzzles, but you gotta have a sense of humor! What a pleasant way to expand your knowledge. --Marcus Hamiliton, Cartoonist on daily Dennis the Menace panels
