Labyrinth: Find Your Way Through 14 Magical Mazes

Children are invited to explore 14 visually arresting mazes that increase in complexity as the book progresses. A line of instruction accompanies each maze, describing the objective (“Make your way through the magical mansion to deliver the present at the birthday party”) as well as 10 items to locate. Other mazes ask readers to help police chase a renegade robot through a network of highways in a futurescape of tall buildings, and to help a young man find his date in a museum reminiscent of Paris’s Centre Pompidou. Guignard’s crisp graphics offer immersive fun for eagle-eyed readers, who will be impressed by his creativity and playful use of perspective, whether they’re threading their way through an overhead view of sunbathing beachgoers and their umbrellas or tracing a path through a neighborhood whose roads actually recede into the distance. Ages 7–10. (Mar.)
