A Dinotopia puzzle. I’m not an actual Dinotopia fan, but there was a large beautiful book from the series in my stepson’s room. I much admired the pictures- the artist is really good at doing children’s faces, the soft features and expressions so natural.
I did try to read the book once, the idea is fun but it was one I just couldn’t get into. Something about the writing style put me off or was just boring. This puzzle was nice to do, though! I mean, in terms of having an interesting picture and being just enough of a challenge (I didn’t look at the box much). Odd, through most of the assembly I thought this was a very simple cut, all two knobs/two holes pieces. It wasn’t until the very end that I suddenly noticed I had a piece with wings in the middle of the others.
I looked closer through the mostly-finished puzzle and yes, there were a few more pieces of other standard shapes in there. But the vast majority are just two knobs/two holes. Rather flimsy and thin, too. I liked it well enough, though. Missing three pieces, which is particularly disappointing only because one is across child’s face.
