[PPRAANet] Youth-friendly technician study guides

Hi all,

Would any of y'all have a recommendation on a technician study guide 
that would be at least somewhat accessible for an upper-elementary 
student?  Our kids have taken something of an interest in getting a ham 
license after watching K6DFB and me use our ham radios, and somewhere I 
think I heard or read that y'all had a /7-year-old/ pass a technician 
exam at some point. :)

I realize that simple rote memory might be a key here, but the kids have 
had enough fun with Snap Circuits (which features AM radio receivers and 
transmitters among other things) that some of the concepts are 
reasonably accessible.  We'll just need to do a lot of teaching. :)

We're currently using FRS / GMRS (WRJB888) with the kids, which 
operationally works fine, though because of the way the FCC regs are set 
up, if I want to TX on ham and GMRS on the same outing, I have to carry 
two separate radios.  And since the kids are getting more interested in 
ham now...
