books : puzzle tales

Puzzles include: Spot the difference, matching images, counting, finding hidden objects, colour and shape identification and a maze. Large, bright, colourful illustrations with a few lines of text on each page. The first book by the authors to be created entirely by computer, ensuring accurate spot-the-difference competitions, bright colours and preserving the line of the original pencil drawings.

As with Little Red Riding Hood, The Three Billy Goats Gruff, follows the well-known story to a not-too-violent conclusion with plenty of early learning puzzles to solve along the way.

Once upon a time there were three little pigs. One day their mother said to them, "You are old enough now to leave home. Out you go into the big wide world. But beware of the big bad wolf! He is always on the lookout for tender young pigs to gobble up. GOODBYE!"

Have fun with this special version of one of your favourite tales. A puzzle to solve on every page. Watch out for the grizzly giant!

Review from Nursery Education Magazine: In addition to the story, there are many simple puzzles to solve and things to find on each page in this entertaining, good-value book. The wacky illustrations add to the humour and interest in their anarchic detail and speech bubbles, making it appealling on different levels to a wide range of children, but especially to reluctant readers. It would be ideal to take on journeys or to the dentist's waiting room!
