Customer Reviews

Puzzle Dungeon

Like all the Usborne Puzzle books, this one was a hit with my three grandchildren aged between 5 and 7. The book is a combination of "Where's Waldo" type object searches, mazes and quest type puzzlers - all on a medieval dungeon theme. The books are meaty enough to keep the youngsters interested for plenty of re-readings. Well worth the price!

Lots of fun

Both my kids (7 and 4) immensely enjoyed this book and all the others in the series. We've made a habit of reading one every week or so, and they never tire of them, even when they know the answers.

My 5-year old loves it.

This is a favorite book of my 5-year old son. He never tires of the puzzles, in spite of the fact that he knows the answers to them all. He likes to look at the book by himself, as well as have it read to him. He has also enjoyed the other books in this series.

Puzzle Dungeon engages the imagination of youngsters.

Puzzle Dungeon challenges youngsters to pay attention to detail, analyse both verbal and visual dilemnas and find solutions. The illustrations by Brenda Haw are endlessly intriguing with humour and wit around every corner in each imaginatively constructed land/mindscape. Four and Five year olds will need to be read to, but will find the tasks within their ambit; older youngsters (7-9) can do the reading themselves. Mazes, mirror-writing and verbal connundrums make this an ideal "long journey" book. Best of all children think they're reading a comic, while actually using advanced reasoning and logical thinking skills.

Good book

I read this with my 8 year old last night. We both enjoyed it.
