Life at Sea ¦ Bird Spotting ¦ Steam Trains ¦ Motoring ¦ The Roman Army ¦ Life in Roman Times

A must for anyone visiting a museum this summer or at any time. The “Museum Picture-Puzzle Book of...” series is sponsored by the Museums Association and each book - there are six so far - was compiled by Harry T Sutton with the help of a specialist adviser from one of our museums. The whole project has clearly involved people with considerable experience of encouraging children to look at and notice things. the puzzles - Spot the difference, Find the jigsaw piece, Spot the deliberate mistake - are all designed to make looking closely fun; and there's just the right amount of information to follow up.

We've indicated which museums the special advisers come from but the books are not specific to any museum collection and could also be enjoyed without setting foot outside home or classroom. As introduction or follow-up to a museum visit they are invaluable.
