Colourful illustrations on each page, interactive puzzles to solve on every spread and imaginative adventures make this the puzzle series we recommend time and time again for first-time readers aged 5+.
These sweet books go like hotcakes in our homes because they work for very young children as well as the slightly older ones, promising great family reading time. The bold and bright visuals are fantastic to engage the littlest of readers, and the interactive questions on each page inviting them to solve mind-fizzing puzzles are their first introduction to reading. From pirate adventures to journeys to lost temples, each book explores different settings and mysteries. You'll want to collect them all, just like us.
For more books like this, we've put together a Best Puzzle Books For Kids blog post, but we can also say we love the Puzzle Mysteries and Puzzle Quest books.
