Review:

Have you ever wondered what the difference is between a labyrinth and a maze? Well, you can get lost in a maze but not in a labyrinth. Readers who are maze, labyrinth and puzzle enthusiasts will love learning about how easy it is to get lost or turned around. The city sewers are a series of mazes, so are streets and even the internet. A person’s fingerprints are a human labyrinth and so is the human brain. Spider webs, tornadoes and pinecones are some of nature’s mazes. 

This book also shares some history of mazes and labyrinths and how they were used by heroes and even pharaohs. Some people even believe that labyrinths are magical and have healing powers. Life can be a maze or labyrinth too. People get lost and it may be tough to find a way back, but we often do. 

Parents and teachers will enjoy sharing this amazing book which covers the mystery and history of mazes and labyrinths past and present. There are fun puzzles that are interactive and engaging. There are also other resources and a handy instructional section for creating your own.
