Dinomaze: Colossal Fossil Maze Book Read Free Books and Download eBooks
Kids love dinosaurs. Kids love mazes. And everyone loves a package so unique it says gift even without the wrapping. Introducing Dinomaze, the one-of-a-kind book that comes inside a bone.Dinomaze is a collection of over 50 anatomically correct, colossal fossil mazes with paths through the skeletons of Allosaurus, T. Rex, Velociraptor, Triceratops, giant sloth, saber-toothed tiger, and other ancient animals. Drawn by Elizabeth Carpenter from actual fossil mounts in the American Museum of Natural History, the illustrations are dazzling. Even more fun, they are also challenging mazes-start at a tail, for example, find your way through the rib cage, and exit at the mouth. The mazes are printed on a poster-size pad--tear off a sheet to work on the floor or the wall-and each comes with information about the animal, including the meaning of its name, when the creature lived, its habits and its habitat. Interspersed are skull--only speed mazes--how fast can you get through the Styracosaurus head? Ingeniously, the poster-size book is rolled and packaged inside a tube that's shaped like a big bone fresh from a paleontological dig. The shaft of the bone is a sturdy cardboard tube; the ends, white molded plastic joint shapes.

My five-year-old son thoroughly enjoys this book -- not for the mazes, but for the information it provides. And the title is a bit of a misnomer -- the book also features pages on prehistoric animals such as sabre-tooth tigers and wooly mammoths.One negative: the book is often difficult to open and flatten because of its original packaging in a plastic decanter shaped like a bone. My son's already crying about pages falling out. Also, one editorial nit (from my son): Deinonychus was 7 feet tall, not 7 inches.
My six year old is addicted to mazes, and these gave him enough to chew on. He ploughed through the book in a day and a half and would not be distracted. He did look at the answers for help, but it is still an accomplishment to finish the mazes even looking at the answers for assistance.He wants to get another copy of the book and do it all over again.The only other maze book I've liked this much for him is the fantastic "everything mazes".Thank you Elizabeth Carpenter.
