Official synopsis Publisher
Napoleon’s freezing army is trying to retreat from Moscow! A wobbly waiter needs to make his way over precarious pedestrian walkways on a flooded piazza in Venice! A runaway must escape from the Roman arena, sneaking past the snoozing gladiators and avoiding the hungry lions! Find the right paths through these obstacles–and nine other uniquely challenging mazes–in this gorgeously illustrated and informative puzzle book. Set in eras as varied as ancient Egypt and modern-day Manhattan and on monuments from the Eiffel Tower to the Great Wall of China, these mazes take readers around the world, through different times and places. With quirky characters and activities galore on every page, there is much to keep an eagle-eyed reader engaged, even once (or if!) the mazes are solved. Solutions and historical information for each spread are included.
