Puzzle Pyramid

I began buying Usborne Young Puzzle Books for my daughter two years ago, at age 4. She loves them all, and we re-read them constantly at her request, even now when she can read to herself. This book is one of her favorites; she enjoys the plot and the puzzles. The story is about a boy who, having studied Egypt in school recently, was invited to visit his aunt, an archeologist in Egypt. But when he arrives, he finds her missing and must using his wits to find the pyramid treasure before the dastardly villain. We highly recommend all 15 of the puzzle books by Susannah Leigh.

Each page of this book has a puzzle to solve- work your way through a maze, find what is different, look for something missing and so on. In addition to that there is an overall game of find the things on each page that are scattered around. It is like a "Where's Waldo" book only there is more to it than just finding one man or a few people in a crowded picture. In addition to that it is a story too. All of the Usborne Young Puzzle books are great for young readers who like to challenge themselves. My daughter who is not a reader likes to sit on my lap and work through the puzzles as I read the bo ok. It is a fun and interesting read.
