Puzzle Castle (Usborne Young Puzzle Books)

Summary: So much more than a book
Review: My sister gave my 3 year old daughter this book on the strength of the unusual heroine - a female knight. My daughter loved it so much that we bought the whole collection of Puzzle books, and every one has been a complete success. She reads (or rather, we read) them over and over. The illustrations are so rich and interesting that we find all sorts of things to discuss even after completing the particular puzzle at hand.

Review: These books provide hours of entertainment and are great fun for the child, the friends, siblings and the parents. All will enjoy these books. Puzzle Castle is about " Sophie " who is helping her friend find the monster in the dungeons before the grand banquet. " Cecil " the castle ghost you must find on each of the double pages and he does hide! " Jester Jim " is practicing juggling and you need to find his juggling balls and you never know how many there will be. Then in each of the double pages in these wonderful illustrations you need to find " useful equipment " that consists of flashlight, key, extra-brave toffees, monster protection shield and many more objects. You don't know what page which object is on so you must remember these objects (or look back in the first couple pictures until you get it narrowed down) The adventure takes you to find a safe route across the moat, matching people with the rooms, My favorite was finding the right baby with the right outfit. Each set of double pictures also has a puzzle, full of mazes, searches and just a lot of fun. Then at the end they make it to the grand banquet. This really was a lot of fun.

Review: We came across this book about 6 months ago when my daughter was 2.5, and she cannot stop talking about Sophie, the brave knight, the dragon, and Cecil, the friendly ghost. We then went on to buy more puzzle books, which were all good, and which were all finished within one sitting because my daughter was so enthralled, but Puzzle Castle really seems to be the stand-out. This is such a fun activity for parents to do with their children, and the puzzles will appeal to children of all ages.
