Puzzles!

Did you know that today is National Puzzle Day here in the US?  Well, not officially - but many puzzle lovers celebrate today as special.

The very first jigsaw puzzle was made by John Spilsbury in 1766.  He attached a map of Europe to a piece of wood and cut around the shapes of the countries.  You can see a picture of it here.  For many years after it was made, the only subject matter of puzzles was maps - and they are still a popular subject for puzzles today!

Barefoot Books has a large collection of puzzles for all ages - why not treat yourself to one today in honor of National Puzzle Day?
