Nice book. Good pictures and 'story' on each page. I thought it was nice to search for the treasure in steps and read the story as you finish each maze. My 5 year old son loves everything pirates so I ordered this for him however the mazes were a bit difficult for him but he liked the story and pictures. Great for a kid a bit older.

Our eldest daughter started going through this book when she was 4 and found them to be a very challenging. With a little encouragement she would persevere and finish. She had finished all but a few and the book got put under a pile of stuff - recently, at 5-1/2 she sped through them.

The maze on the cover is a good indication of how complicated the mazes are. The challenge is increased by trying to avoid certain hazards or trying to hit all points of a trail. The accompanying story for each one helps to get the child engaged.

Look for free mazes online first (Google "free mazes")and once your child is accustomed to simple mazes, this is a good step up.

I'd agree with the other review - far too easy for a 7-9 year old child.

I bought this book for my 5 year old son who LOVES doing mazes. He is generally very good at doing mazes, but these were pretty tricky for him. He can do them with some assistance, but he can't complete them independently. I would recommend this book (it does have an answer key in it), but it is more age appropriate for older kids.

I purchased this book for my grandson who loves mazes. He does them so quickly it is hard to find books that he hasn't already done. This was different and fun for him. He really liked the variety.

My son loves mazes, and this book is the best maze book he has now. There's a lot of variation in difficulty levels, so he doesn't get frustrated or bored quickly.

Children (7,9) were easily bored of this book. The were looking for more challenging mazes.

My son lves mazes. I bought this for him as a Christmas gift. There were some hard ones in there for him but he loved the book.
