Gr 3 Up—Peppy cartoon art and a variety of shapes and colors keep the pages turning through the 11 mazes in each of these books. Good factoids and photos lend credibility, and hidden objects sprinkled among the twisty paths add a bonus challenge. The mazes themselves range from not too hard to difficult. In fact, some mazes are made extremely difficult due to paths that change color, color gradients, and imprecise start and end points. This reviewer questions whether it is entirely respectful to include Vietnam's Cu Chi tunnels (Down Under, Asia and Australasia), and it is inaccurate to state that Vietnam was cut off "from the rest of the world" during the conflict known in the U.S. as the Vietnam War. VERDICT Cute but challenging, best for advanced maze runners.
