4.0 out of 5 stars great bellissimo
Style: Solar SystemVerified Purchasefinalmente un puzzle che non sia della disney! importante il soggetto, un po confusionale con la perspettiva dei pianeti per la distanza dalla luna (per me). se non, ottimo prezzo per un prodotto che non sia banale o inutile.

5.0 out of 5 stars Lovely picture, great quality
Style: RainforestVerified PurchaseI have bought several of these Doug and Melissa puzzles and they are the perfect size and difficulty level for my 3 year old grandson and yet interesting enough to motivate the 5 year old. The pieces are sufficiently durable and a good large size for little hands. I highly recommend any of them. This one has a particularly nice picture with lots of different animals to identify. I think it mixes up continents, but who cares.
