Lil' Merl and the Dastardly Dragon by Liam Barrett


Are you good at puzzles, mazes, connect-the-dot and coloring?  This book has all those activities and more, so grab a pencil and some crayons and let's jump in!

Nobrow Ltd and Edelweiss gave me the opportunity to read this book for review (thank you).  It will be published July 15th, so make a note to pick it up then.

When I was small, this sort of book really appealed to me.  You have a story, but you also have challenges to keep moving along.  I could spend hours playing with something like this.  You might want to try this with your child and get them off the electric gadget for a bit.

Here's an example of how the book works:

 
I've never been real good with mazes, how about you?  There are also word searches, number games and more.  While the book isn't real long, it's real busy and that's a good thing.

Another thought for you:  Maybe you'd like to play along with your child.  The games are fun.  Let the little one teach you how to play...
