For kids who love puzzles, this is a great present. My grandson (4 years old) was not so interested, but my 2 1/2-year-old granddaughter loves it. It is, as usual with M&D products, well made and appealing. The one thing I would add is a top for the box; too often all the pieces spill out when we storing it. (I would say the same for all their puzzles. They used to make a puzzle cover, but I can't find it anymore.)
