Customer Reviews, including Product Star Ratings help customers to learn more about the product and decide whether it is the right product for them.
To calculate the overall star rating and percentage breakdown by star, we don’t use a simple average. Instead, our system considers things like how recent a review is and if the reviewer bought the item on Amazon. It also analyzed reviews to verify trustworthiness.

Bought this for my son who loves puzzles. I have never seen such warped pieces which refuse to stay together. He was terribly frustrated doing the puzzle and it was impossible to get more than 20% completed. Even the outside frame wouldn’t stay. I would’ve given it zero stars if I could.
I contacted customer service and they sent a new one.
I was really excited for this puzzle because I love the design. My son loves finding all the animals and learning in what parts of the world they live. Unfortunately, I believe the puzzle I received was damaged, and have noticed some recent reviews referencing the same problem. Did something go wrong in one of their warehouses. All the pieces are warped, so the puzzle does not ‘click’ together or lay flat. I have not had this problem before with the same company. I tried to contact the company to get a replacement, but never heard back. I do like Crocodile Creek puzzles and the concepts within their designs, but this particular case is frustrating. I would happily give a 5-star review if their customer service could switch out the puzzle for one that is not warped.
This is a super awesome puzzle. Bought it for my 3.5 year old and with help to start off she was able to complete this. It's a floor sized puzzle and the picture quality is great. The figures are too cute. It's educational. She loves puzzles and now that she's 4, she has tons of this brand. I've pulled it out myself and done it when the kids are in bed as something to do while I watch Netflix, um sorry Amazon Prime Video. They make high quality, good kids puzzles
Bought this puzzle two years ago for my 5 year old daughter. Its a great puzzle and very educational. The only issue is that very shirtly after being in the box the large pieces warp and bend, which make then difficult to place together. Its very frustrating as ever piece she puts together causes most of the puzzle to break apart.

We got the puzzle in today and the kids loved it. They're 4&5 by the way, so they definitely needed help, but were actively in assembling it. It's a very good quality- the picture is well done, the pieces fit well with no shredding on edges like some cheaper puzzles. The stand up animals are a nice touch and the kids loved placing them on the map afterwards. They were immediately ready to dig into the Europe version by Crocodile Creek I ordered along with this one. Five stars. Would definitely recommend.
We have other crocodile creek puzzles that are great. This one is different. The pieces are very uneven and coming loose which means we have to repeat the same effort often. Not pleasant. Not fun. Do not recommend
Puzzle pieces did not fit flat or click in place. They were somewhat curved which was frustrating to a 5-6 year old. I have purchased other puzzles from Crocodile Creek and have been happy with the quality but thus specific product was definitely not worth the price charged.

Poor quality, very unusual for Crocodile Creek puzzles

What a great puzzle! My family had lots of fun putting it together! Big floor puzzle!! Funny too! The pieces are big, and easy for kids to handle and fit together! The stand up cut outs were a big hit!! Also, getting to learn about Canada while putting it together was the reason for the purchase!
El Teo se lo pasa en grande montando este puzzle. Además teniendo los diferentes planetas, una vez que se lo aprende es fácil para el montarlo solo. No tiene grandes superficies del mismo color, que dificultarían el montaje. Es muy grande una vez montado, y eso lo hace muy divertido. Además con las figuras, luego jugamos a colocarlas en su sitio y adivinar el nombre. Muy muy recomendable para niños de 4 años que les guste montar puzzles, y aprenderán los planetas jugando.
