Jen+4dc Posted June 19, 2009 Share Posted June 19, 2009 You start by putting together a jigsaw puzzle that explains the "crime." Then you have to go through the magazine of clues to rule out certain suspects and certain places, etc. They provide a DK type book on the country (not terribly in depth, but has all the answers for the logic/word/story problems in the magazine). My guidebook for Japan is 32 pages (including Index). Nice layout, glossy pics, not too much info on a page but not too little, either. It reads more like a narrative than an encyclopedia or "eyewitness" book (NO little boxes like Usborne). It's not terribly academic, but my ds9, dd11 and their friends from book club had a lot of fun with it for their end of year party last year. It's a fun intro to different countries. If you want to read it aloud even the youngers could play along. Value for the money?? Well, if I could buy several at once and pay less S&H it would be better! I'm cheap enough I've made the olders use scratch paper and not write in the magazine so I could reuse it later with the youngers when they'll get more out of it.

swimmermom3 Posted June 19, 2009 Share Posted June 19, 2009 Hey Michele, Have you seen one? If you haven't, I've got one here on Egypt that is unopened with your name on it. That way you could preview it before committing. My ds really enjoyed them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
