Mouse's Wood Puzzle (Available 15/9/26)

Discover a year of woodland wonder with this double-sided story puzzle from acclaimed author/illustrator Alice Melvin. Blending the fun of a jigsaw with the rhythm of a calendar, this ring-shaped puzzle depicts Mouse’s life through the changing seasons. On the back of each of the twelve pieces is the corresponding month, season, and a short passage describing Mouse’s journey—turning the completed puzzle into a storytelling adventure and a learning tool.

A foldout poster adds to the experience, including a sprawling tree that transforms through all four seasons and teems with animals, birds, and flowers. The reverse of the poster features a nature guide with woodland creatures and plants that Mouse interacts with each month. Young readers are encouraged to spot details such as a swallow flying above Mouse as he swings from a tree, a peacock butterfly fluttering past his summertime picnic, and a heron standing at the water’s edge. Children will want to complete the puzzle again and again as they explore the wonders of Mouse’s forest world.

For ages 2+
