Each jigsaw book is an innovative design: a large-format book with four 96-piece jigsaw puzzles bound into it, each puzzle comprising a page in the book. When assembled, the pieces of each
puzzle depict a scene of great natural beauty or historical interest. On the page opposite each puzzle, fascinating tidbits are presented through sidebars and illustrations, introducing young
explorers to some of the world’s most unique regions, natural wonders, and cultural treasures. Printed on each page under the puzzle pieces are mazes and brain teasers to reinforce the facts on
the adjoining page. With their durable quality and unique presentation of information that makes learning fun, the Alex & Penny puzzle books are a welcome addition to the literature for
kids on world cultures. Teachers, parents, and most of all, kids, will appreciate the ingenious presentation of facts. Alex & Penny’s Jigsaw Puzzles: Wild West takes the twins along
the Oregon Trail. The images on the four puzzles depict a wild and rocky canyon, a breathtaking view of the spectacular Monument Valley, cowboys rounding up wild mustangs, and an aerial view of
the Colorado River. In Alex & Penny’s Jigsaw Puzzles: Italy, twins Alex and Penny explore Italy, learning about the country through games and brain teasers. From the peaks of the
Dolomites to the crystal-clear waters of Sardinia, from the brightly-colored houses of Burano to the massive majesty of the Colosseum, the images on the puzzles in this book convey the diverse
attractions of Italy.
