This is a fun book for kids. My own little ones love the eye-appealing pictures, the not-so-hard puzzles, the extra find on every page, and the great variety of mazes. I'm currently looking for more of the same, by request!
Three of the mazes in this book gave me great comforting dreams when I was sick as a child. It is 10 years later now, and those pages still make me feel good. Also, the mazes range from extremely easy to extremely difficult ... I still have not been able to solve #3 without looking at the answer page.
I remember, way back in the sixth grade, specially ordering so many of Rolf Heimann's maze books. They were all engaging, challenging, but most of all fun books. I thought that the fact that there's three ways through every maze (hard, easy, intermediate) was a neat touch.Really, a Rolf Heimann maze isn't just a maze. It's a messed-up jumbled-up world, ready for you to navigate. And unlike traditional mazes, these aren't your draw-a-pencil-line-thru-the-maze type. These involve critical thinking, like finding the right ingredients to prepare drinks, and moving across logs to get to an island. Really, an excellent gift for any kid is one or all or Rolf Heimann's maze books.
I loved all the Amazing Mazes books as a kid. Each maze has three levels of difficulty, so they can be solved multiple times. There are other puzzles, too - riddles, word puzzles, all kinds of cleverness. The real value for me, though, when I was young, came from the wonderful, imaginative illustrations. One of the mazes is a cutaway view of a ship, showing all the different rooms, stairways, electrical wires (they're one of the three maze challenges on the ship) and people within. I still have this book, though it's been read so many times it's quite worn and delicate. Each page is a world I spent time in - and I highly recommend the experience for other kids.
I had a copy of this book when I was probably 7-10 years old. I loved it so much that I remember it to this day. Solving the puzzles was fun, but just looking at the pictures occupied me for hours at a time. I have had awesome dreams about walking around in living mazes that were absolutely a result of the fantastic and creative illustrations. This may sound like a small thing, but it had a big part in forming my childhood imagination. That is a very powerful and important thing and the highest possible recommendation I can give.I think this book has something to offer pretty much every kid there is, and may just be a part of your child's happy memories well into adulthood. You'll probably really enjoy it, too.
I remember getting Amazing Mazes as a christmas gift when i was in kindergarten. At first, a 5 year old has to wonder, why would you give this to me, but over the years, the Amazing mazes books have become my most treasured childhood activities. Now, as a much older person, i am so glad that i can still flip through a book and find a maze that i'm still not sure how to overcome. These books are great for ANYONE!
