Mega Mazes
Rolf Heimann, Penguin Group Australia
Puzzle-loving kids will find big a-MAZE-ment on every one of these elaborately illustrated pages. Not only does every spread have a full-size, enjoyably challenging maze, but it often includes additional, smaller puzzles to increase the solving fun. Imagine: a wonderfully detailed maze set in a Hollywood studio: not only do you have to help two workers find their way out of the complex stage set they've built, but you also have to retrieve the movie star's poodle and locate a cable to plug in her hair dryer. And that's only on the left-hand page; the right side offers three more mini-mazes of varying difficulty. Plus, have a good time searching for the name of Conny the Parrot, hidden somewhere in every image.
