What better time than during an arctic blast of below-zero temperatures to work a puzzle titled I Love Winter? And because I, personally, do NOT love cold and ice, I prefer to enjoy winter instead through this Mike Jupp art that shows a funny and fun side to this season.
This 1,000-piece puzzle from Gibsons (also available from All Jigsaw Puzzles as Mike Jupp’s I Love Winter) features a chaotic winter scene with pops of color to break up the white snow. Humorous vignettes include a skiier with his pants falling down, a man encased in ice, a runaway snowball that’s swept up numerous people on its roll to the frozen river, and a bevy of characters waiting on the bus (though one woman with blue lips is sporting a look of horror on her face, which is pretty odd).
All in all, this is an easy puzzle to work. I recommend it for ages 10 and up and give it four out of five puzzle pieces.
