This book combines both a story and lots of puzzles. I bought this book as my son is currently in a dinosaur phase, lots of dinosaur books are quite heavy going, lots of very long words and difficult concepts but this book is fun.
The story itself is fairly basic, two children, Abby and Isaac go on an adventure and have to try and help a baby Maiasaura called Maya find her parents (If you've watched Go Diego Go: Great Dinosaur Rescue DVD you will find this story a little similar, wonder which came out first! We didn't mind this as my son loves Diego too).
There are lots of different things to find, some things like dinosaur teeth and Morgan the Morganacudon you have to find on every page and my son was always very excited when we spotted Morgan. There is also a series of items/creatures etc, one of which is also hidden on each double page, this is harder as you don't know which will be hidden on each page. As well as the things to find, on each page there is a puzzle, sometimes you have to work out the clues, help the children through a maze or find different things.
This isn't a book that can be read quickly, it does take a while for my little boy to find all the things and work out the answers and there are a few bits where he needs help but this makes it a lovely book for us to read together and we always enjoy spotting the items and working out the right answers. My son is four and has to have this book read to him and it's a lovely activity to do together, I imagine an older child could spend ages pouring over this book trying to find everything and I'd definitely recommend it. There are lots of other books in this series, we have just ordered Puzzle Ocean and Puzzle Jungle, hope they're as good as this one.

Perfect combination of story and puzzles
2 April 2010
Format:Paperback|Amazon Verified Purchase
I got this for my son for his 5th birthday. He loves it! Each page tells part of the story and then there is a maze or hidden pictures to do before moving on to the next page of the story. Highly recommended for any child who love dinosaurs and puzzles books.
Fun search and find book

It is mainly a search and find book with a story wrapped around it. The pictures of what to find are on the first page so my 5yr old was a little lost at first. Overall a nice purchase.
A Great Dinosaur Puzzle-Story
15 May 2009
Format:Paperback
This is a great book from a really neat series. There is a story that includes a puzzle to solve on each double page. The puzzles involve finding things, mazes, spotting what is different, etc. There are also several objects to search for thoughout the book. This story involves a boy and a girl who are magically taken back to dinosaur times and help a lost young dinosaur find her parents. My 5-year old daughter really enjoys the books in the Usborne Young Puzzle series. I think this book would be great for boys and girls both. This book would be a great gift idea. I also think this book (and the others in the series) would be a great thing to bring on an airplane trip to keep the kids busy and entertained.
