Each volume contains hundreds of age-appropriate activities to build young children's competence and confidence as they develop and improve their motor skills abilities. The series is especially recommended for children ages 5 and up who have coordination and movement difficulties.

Luckily, famed German designer Ulrich Koch has provided solutions to the 50 outrageous mazes he created for this dazzling volume. Otherwise, even the gifted connoisseur might not escape some of his more challenging labyrinths.
Although most of the intricate puzzles can be deciphered by intermediate solvers -- and there are even a few amusements easy enough for the novice -- some, like the African Queen, Cyclist's Nightmare, and Frankfurt Labyrinth, require a special talent you'll acquire only after a few evenings of stimulating practice.
Many of the more challenging designs add a special excitement by incorporating bizarre op art effects, Escher-like illusions, and three-dimensional fabrications. Take your time and start with an easy one or, if you're already a dedicated puzzlist, leap right into the fray with one of the more convoluted configurations. Either way, you'll enjoy hours of sensational, inexpensive fun while you test your skills and sharpen your imagination.
Each maze has a useful caption explaining the objective and your possible routes. Even if you can't solve them immediately, the brilliant originality of these unusual mazes will intrigue and delight you and your friends for hours.

Any marksman knows that the key to becoming an accomplished shooter is to practice, practice, practice, and Mini Weapons of Mass Destruction Targets contains more than 100 perforated targets that minimarksmen can use to develop their skills. The targets are divided into three themes--Basic, Secret Agent, and Dark Ages--with a variety of game-play scenarios, including blasting the lock off a chained door, knocking down a castle gate, or taking out a security camera.

In addition to the targets, instructions for five new Mini Weapons are provided, including a Paper Pick Blow Gun, a Toothpick Tape Dart, and a Semi-Automatic Pen Pistol.

An entertaining guide to the world's slimiest stuff.

A Little Book of Slime reveals the sticky secrets of more than 30 slimy substances, from frothy frog nests to scrambled egg slime, each with its own important (if unpleasant) characteristics and functions. Magnified photos and fascinating text transform the gooiest substances on the planet into extraordinary stories of our natural world.

Everything that oozes and leaves a trail of gunk lurks in the book's pages: goopy secretions of the "killer" slime plant, glistening spittle of the revolting froghopper insect, bucketsful of slime made in minutes by the most repulsive fish. Decomposing vegetables, living snot mold, phlegm and saliva. Slime is widespread.

The book describes what slime is and then explores where it lingers: Slimy Stuff in Water, Slimy Stuff on Land and Other Slimy Stuff. Readers can use the "slime-ometer" to gauge stickiness, smelliness and sliminess, and Slime Alerts point out particularly slimy, scary or mind-boggling facts. A glossary supports the descriptions.

Fun to read with pictures that almost drip with goo, A Little Book of Slime turns disgusting slime into a surprisingly appealing topic. Slime may look and feel revolting but it's there for a reason
