Puzzle Island

Is it Puzzle Island? I fucking loved this book as a kid, even tried to make my own in the same style. Each page is a different scene, and you have to find all the hidden pictures in each to solve the big puzzle at the end, in an effort to help a scientist save a dying species from extinction.

Puzzle Island

Hmm, this looks similar to The Eleventh Hour, which we had as kids, and spent hours on. There's a few red herrings in it, too, which took hours to solve, then turned out to be nothing. Wholely aggravating. My mom worked on it with us, and we never did figure it out. I ended up cheating by peeking at the answer. But I still have the book, and hope to work through it with my stepdaughter.

I started her slow, by going through Puzzle Island with her. I also got The Red Herring Mystery, but we haven't solved this one yet, and we've gotten away from this. I want to work up to The Eleventh Hour, though. It looks as though Graeme Base has other books as well, which we'll have to check out. My stepdaughter is incredibly smart, and she's eight years old now, and she loves these kind of puzzles. She also REALLY relishes anything that she can do with one of her parents (and yes, I count as one of them - she really digs me these days, which is TOTALLY AWESOME! I get to really be a mom, YAY!).

Anyway, "Masquerade" in Hardback in Good condition is selling for a penny for $3.99 shipping, so I bought a copy. Looks good. :) I'm all for things like this!

Never mind... I found it, but I don't think it's the one you want. It's called Puzzle Island, no Venice.

PICK THIS ONE you will have the coolest book there...

It's intentional. It's from a puzzle book, I can't find which one though.

It was a children's adventure book... you had to spot certain things in the pictures and then reconstruct clues.. there was a maze, and a desert with an upside-down rhino made of rocks, and dinosaurs...

Edit: it was Puzzle Island

Doesn't happen to be the recently posted Puzzle Island, does it?

Also: latest possible publication date?

There are plenty of books that are made better by their pictures too. We're not just talking about novels. Think of children's books, for example.

Saying a book like this would be better if it was only text is crazy: http://www.amazon.com/Puzzle-Island-Childs-Play-Library/dp/0859534030/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1318796162&sr=8-1

this reminds me of a book I had when I was younger - Puzzle Island (https://www.amazon.com/Puzzle-Island-Childs-Play-Library/dp/0859534030) :)
