Dinosaurs Galore
by Masayuki Sebe
Age Range: Under_5
Find your way through the maze, find out which cave man is the hungriest, work out which brightly coloured dinosaur has hatched from one of five multi coloured eggs. Sound fun? You can do all this and more in Masayuki Sebe’s Dinosaurs Galore puzzle book!
Bright and colourful, with a different puzzle or game on each page, Masayuki Sebe has created a wonderful, dinosaur themed book of fun. The puzzles vary in difficulty but they are all do-able, although children (and adults) might have to think hard about a couple of the harder ones! Whilst some of the puzzles are under fives friendly, a few are definitely a bit beyond them and might present a real challenge to children aged six to eight. The path finding exercise, where you could only move on squares with certain dinosaur silhouettes can be quite confusing and small readers may flip the page in frustration at that one.
Overall, this is an enjoyable puzzle book and should bring lots of amusement as the puzzles are designed to challenge children, but are clearly explained and simply worded. The dinosaurs and cavemen are eye-catching and should raise a smile as well.
This is perhaps not a book for every child. Some children simply don’t enjoy these puzzles or struggle with them. However, this book is also a simple pleasure that children can dive in and out of in small doses and would probably be great to take away for a holiday or keep for a rainy day, as it will keep children busy, stop complaints about boredom but also make them think a little.
