Dropped about 13 pages in. Seemed like a cute idea but the "puzzles" are pretty much all visual it seems, like mazes or find how many of X object are in the book. I prefer more cerebral puzzle books with logic or other aspects and this was just a bit young and disappointing. Story was fine for a toddler/kids book and pictures very good but I disliked how some pictures went to the spine and was hard to see images near the spine like a squid hidden near the middle of the two pages and was hard to see or so. Anyway, better for little kids but I prefer the older puzzley story books by far.

I never personally would, but was reminded by re-reading this again as an adult, that people should *never* underestimate difficulty levels in children's puzzle books!! I'm in my early 30s, and I still struggled slightly with a couple of the puzzles in this 😅

For what this book was, it was great. A simple story that had a maze or search and find on the spreads. Simple, enjoyable, and interactive. 4-5 age range is ideal in my house.
