It’s one of my favorite annual celebrations: National Puzzle Day. And what better way to enjoy it than by working a fun puzzle that focuses on a passion of mine: picture books (I write them and love to read them too). This 1,000-piece puzzle from White Mountain features the covers of classic childhood stories such as The Snowy Day, Corduroy, Pippi Longstocking, The Little Engine That Could, and Madeline, among many others. It’s made of sturdy, vibrantly-colored pieces, which feature fun, unusual cuts…no boring rectangles or squares here.
This puzzle is a walk down memory lane, for sure, but also an enjoyable way to spend a cold January day (whoever made National Puzzle Day occur in January instead of June knew a little something about getting through Winter!). It’s easy to work, so I recommend it for ages 10 and up, and give it five out of five puzzle pieces.
