Category Description for A-Maze-Ing Adventures

These are not your typical mazes. The paths are unusual; finding your way through the scattered bone remains of a dinosaur, for instance. Along the paths are miscellaneous tiny things to "find" – like a chisel or a sea serpent (yes, they can be a bit random). Each maze page is coupled with instructional material and facts. These would be an exciting addition to any textbook unit on history or geography – or just to enjoy as a challenge. A complete visual maze answer key is in the back of the book. 32 pgs, pb. ~ Janice
