African Friends 300 Piece Puzzle
This cartoonish map of Europe is reminiscent of those wonderful "the world as viewed by a New Yorker" cartoons. Europe's external boundaries are there, but no countries are delineated. Instead, various "European" features are scattered about in roughly the right geographic location--the bullfight in Spain, the blowing volcano in Sicily (but why is it shooting out a chicken?), the bagpiper in Scotland. Assemble the 300 pieces (each 1.25 to 1.5 inches across) into this puzzle and have fun trying to identify all those goofy scenes (why is that dog talking on a cell phone?). Like all Ravensburger puzzles, this one is made well of durable recycled cardboard, and will last through multiple reconstructions. Even the box is high quality.--Richard Farr
