I grew up with this, then me an my 6 year old son worked through it and he LOVED it! One of the best kids books.

Miss 6 enjoyed. I think we're working through this series at the moment. She finds them pleasurably easy and enjoys finding the collection of items through the book (in this case young Sam's pirate items) as well as solving the simple visual / logic puzzles. We did the entire book over morning tea.

Miss 6 and I like to explore different books and authors at the library, sometimes around particular topics or themes. We try to get different ones out every week or so; it's fun for both of us to have the variety and to look at a mix of new & favourite authors.

Good illustrations but not as fun as the Usborne Puzzle Adventures and not not as clever. This one is a lot more like Highlights magazine

This was a FAVORITE series of my childhood! I'm reading back through them and ah, the memories.

This was a fun book to read and find hidden things.

Rated as four by the little ones.

Fun book for ages 7-9 . Hidden pictures to find , mazes, and other puzzle games. Reading level about 3 , although some kids can do the games without reading the instructions.
