Backyard Bug Mazes: An A-maze-ing Colorful Discovery! Read Free Books and Download eBooks
Roger Moreau, the maze master who created such popular collections as Dinosaur Escape Mazes and History Mystery Mazes, is going buggy! Every one of these puzzles features creepy-crawly creatures such as dragonflies, centipedes, and tarantulas. Kids will have to take their pencils and find a way to reach them, avoid them, and take them where they want to go. Clear a path past the scrap wood munched and crunched by termites. Move from flower to flower in order to save the ladybug from a hungry praying mantis. Work up the courage to go up close to the black widow spider while keeping well away from her babies. There are 28 mazes in all, including a bonus one on the cover.

I have loved Mazes ever since I was a 7 or 8 year old kid,over 70 years ago I also loved Spot-The-Difference Puzzles for just as long.In those days they were much simpler and seldom ever in color.But today,they are so greatly improved,exciting and challenging;that I continue to pick up any Maze or book of Mazes and enjoy them;both the challenge and the artwork. Roger Moreau is one of my favorite Maze artists,and I have had several of his books over the years.You can find dozens of his Maze books with all different themes and the most imaginative and artistic Mazes you'll find anywhere;right here on ..They are pretty much all the same level of difficulty and are suitable in challenge and enjoyment for all ages.This book has 26 mazes,some are single page,8" X 11",but most are double page 11" X16"and all are totally different in themes and challenges.Only a couple are of the typical lined grids with blockages.The picture gives a good example.I really enjoyed this book,but I have one complaint.When a book such as this is constructed in a way that it can't be opened flat,and a Maze is spread over 2 pages;it is derfficult to follow paths across the pages.It is not too bad in this book,but some are very poor. If you find Roger Moreau's Mazes a little too easy for you; I suggest you take a look at "The Ultimate Maze Book" (1991) ,by David Anson Russo.I wrote a Review on it dated February 23,2005.It is "out-of-this-world" in design,beauty,challenge and enjoyment;and can be found here on for unbelievably low prices. It is suggested that one not mark their paths ,particularly with a hard pencil or pen,ruining it for future use by oneself or others.I don't use either,preferring to do them by eye only.
This book is absolutely beautiful! I bought it in a used book store, along with a two other books that he did, as gifts for my nephews, and decided to buy a copy of this book just for myself! The books have an educational aspect to them, and could be adapted for programs such as Project WILD, a national (USA) program sponsored through state fish and game/wildlife departments.The mazes are very challenging, which is the one concern I have about giving the books to my nephews. They require a fair amount of concentration, which I am not certain that boys (2 of them, ages 7 and 10, with ADHD) will stick with long enough to solve them. It would be really great to have someone assess the books for an appropriate age-range. This is the only reason I didn't give the book 5 stars.Hopefully, in the future, the artist will continue to create these beautiful works of art, with the age-range assesment available on the cover!
