My son LOVES mazes and is very good at them. This box has a mix of difficulty levels, but several of them are quite hard. Those, of course, are the ones my 6-year-old wanted to do first. I would recommend this book to older children (at least finished first grade). I wish the publisher would have put age recommendations. I managed to put the book up and will get it out again next year. More color would have helped make the book agreeable for more ages as well, not only making it more attractive, but making following the maze passages easier.

Enjoyable but challenging mazes for abilities from Grade 1 to Grade 5...Easy to use as a center, and challenges the visual/spatial learner to excel. Each page is loaded with zany but true facts that will delight even the most reluctant learner!

I'll admit, some of the sorts of mazes in this book could not be found on the web *for free* but a lot of them could be. There was no real theme based around the mazes so I do know of children that became disinterested in this book pretty quickly. Better look at it in a bookstore just to see the inside before you buy it. Not the best but not the worst.

This book is fun and amazing, great for parents and smaller kids to work on together and lots of interesting facts. The facts give readers impetus to to go look things up...like Land Artist. Whoever heard of one of those, before reading this book?! I like the way it encourages reading as well as problem solving.

As a teacher and father of a boy - this book provided hours of
shared fun and opened the doors to exploring lots of subjects
that we would never have encountered. My son could do the mazes alone - but we also worked together as a team - a wonderful benefit. We were both entertained and neither of us was bored!!
A great book for a trip, to fill the time in waiting rooms, or as a special treat to work together on a rainy day.

Again for my son. He is a Maze Crazy kid and loved this one the best.

I really enjoyed this because it's not your run-of-the mill maze book! The illustrations are lively and fun! Each maze is organized into themed chapter and includes interesting facts about the subject. As a teacher, I appreciate this because students learning new information while solving the mazes! The puzzles range in difficulty, so kids of all levels can feel successful.

A unique and enjoyable maze book. My daughter is 5 and a maze freak and she really likes just looking through the maze books to see which maze she wants to tackle for the day and this book has a lot of choices and a variation in difficulty. I put stars at the top of the pages for the mazes she is allowed to do. I would recomend this book to a child over the Preschool age unless they are very talented with details. A first grader would probably love the book.

My two children, ages 7 and 9, loved this book, as did their little cousin who came over and sat in the corner for a half hour going through the mazes! I would recommend keeping one in the car or in an "emergency bag" for those long, boring waits at the doctor's office or when big brother's soccer game gets a little too long.

What an awesome book!

Both my kids, ages 11 and 6 1/2, love doing the mazes in this book, which range from fairly simple to extremely difficult. It's a great way to see them working together and having fun.
