I have always had a deep affection for this book since I was a child. Therefore, I was overjoyed when I discovered it at the park's book exchange.

I dedicated the entire day to closely examining the pictures, painstakingly attempting to uncover every single riddle, clue, and hidden message within.

Finally, I turned to the answers at the end. I was astonished by some of the things that Base had concealed throughout the book, which I had completely overlooked. However, I was also extremely pleased with myself for successfully deciphering some of the more challenging clues.

I wholeheartedly recommend this book to all enthusiasts of whodunnit mysteries and hidden object games. Even though I have already read the answers, I firmly believe that this book will continue to bring joy and excitement for many years to come.

It is truly a remarkable piece of work that never fails to captivate its readers.

The illustrations in this book are truly a visual feast!

They are so vivid and detailed that they bring the story to life in the most amazing way. And let's not forget about the rhymes! They are far from being dull or silly.

In fact, they mostly work brilliantly, adding a wonderful rhythm and flow to the story while also moving it along smoothly. What's more, they include some great vocabulary that my daughter is really enjoying learning.

She is currently busy working on solving the mystery in the book, which has really captured her attention and imagination. I would highly recommend this book to anyone looking for an engaging and entertaining read for their child. It's a great choice that is sure to provide hours of enjoyment and learning.

A mystery to solve and a puzzle on every page. Base's illustrations are decadent, captivating the reader's imagination.

I was excited to revisit this book again. When I first went through it in the 90s, I remember losing a whole night's sleep poring over all the codes. In hindsight, the puzzles are numerous and quite intense for many younger readers. I know my own children got a lot of use out of this book, but mainly for its large size. They used it as a base for their endless artistic projects. My current copy has a much smaller trim, and I'm not convinced it didn't cut out some of the clues. Or perhaps, they were shrunk down to the point where my much too old eyes could no longer latch on.

The word "puzzle" is central to the allure of this book. It challenges the reader's intellect and engages them in a thrilling adventure of discovery. Whether it's decoding secret messages or solving complex riddles, the puzzles in this book offer a unique and stimulating experience.
