EcoMazes - Arriving in July

Just read a great review over at Bookfoolery for a new kids book arriving in July called EcoMazes.

Here's her verdict -

4/5 - Beautiful artwork, a great teaching tool. Point off for not including a key or labeling the start and finish points of the mazes. If you're not willing to spend time with children, looking up information about the animals, I'd skip it. But I think the book is a terrific starting point for a learning adventure.

If this books sounds good to you, you should pop over to Bookfoolery and read the full review.
