Toys and Games Reviews of The Scrambled States of America Puzzle and Book Set
Customer Review: Puzzle and Book are Fun Compliments of Each Other
Summary: 5 Stars
I first got this puzzle thinking it was just another "Learn the States" type of puzzle, which was just fine by me. When we opened up the box, my 5 year old son started asking why states had faces on them, so I started reading the "Scrambled States of America" booklet included with the puzzle. Afterwards, I looked on Amazon and this booklet was actually published as a full blown story with the same name. Not surprisingly it got 5 stars by most reviewers! The story really held his interest, and he took the book from me to read on his own, and then he started in with the puzzle with great enthusiasm. It was a little challenging for him...he is almost six and the recommended age is 8, but I think most 6 or 7 year olds will handle this with no problem. He had fun putting the puzzle together and finding hidden shapes that were shaped like actual states. To my surprise he was able to identify them too. The book and the puzzle give each of the states a unique personality, and children will subconciously learn the name and shape of the state without realizing it. My son has the puzzle about half done now, and took the book to bed with him to read. He loves it! I am going to buy the game for him for Christmas. This special edition is a good deal because you get the story (granted, it's printed as a pamphlet, not like a real book) and the puzzle in the same package for a reasonable price. The only downside is that regular maps of the U.S. will now probably seem boring by comparison.
Description of The Scrambled States of America Puzzle and Book Set
Read the book, then do the puzzle! In the hilarious illustrated paperback story The Scrambled States of America by Laurie Keller, you'll learn all about how the 50 States were bored and tired of staying in their same spots all the time. So they threw a party, and decided to trade places. But dry Arizona didn't like getting his hair wet by the ocean, and poor Minnesota got sunburned when she traded places with Florida! They're homesick, and they need your help to get them back in their rightful places. Put together the 150 piece puzzle and you'll have everybody back in their place again! The puzzle is made up of regular jigsaw pieces, but there are 10 state-shaped pieces secretly hidden in the puzzle. Comes with 150 pieces and a bonus, illustrated storybook. Measures 18 x 24 when complete.Jigsaw Puzzles Toys
