K-Gr 4 Maze twists and turns are delightfully expressed in these unique books. Each entry captures the hustle and bustle within a popular setting. The selections all feature an identical introduction and offer guidelines for the double-page puzzles. A hidden animal or student strategically placed within each maze provides another reason to explore. A compass rose and a pictorial key enhance each busy scene as readers are encouraged to answer directional questions and to search for specific items. Chatty phrases bounce through each title: "Too dark to see? Not for the skunks, ocelots, and other nighttime creatures that live here!" ( Zoo Adventure ). Though there's much to discover, the bright, digital cartoons remain uncluttered. They featured children from a variety of backgrounds, but there's not much variation in the characters' size or stature. Though the answer keys are not comprehensive, there's plenty to pore over in these titles. Meg Smith, Cumberland County Public Library, Fayetteville, NC
