Picture Book of the Week 2018
Our second Picture Book of the Week is a truly stunning homage to an absolutely amazing novel...It's not often we see classic novels getting a picture puzzle book treatment but "20,000 Leagues Under the Sea: A Puzzle Adventure" by Aleksandra Artymowska is a real spectacle, and one of the most amazing maze books we've seen in a long time.
It takes its inspiration from Jules Verne's classic novel, and along with two intrepid little explorers you'll enter Captain Nemo's undersea world for a peerless puzzle adventure with a ton of style and the most incredible illustrations.
Each page spread is hyper-detailed, and takes its cues from the original story of Captain Nemo and his quest to rid the world's oceans of those who would plunder them for their own gain.
Thankfully this book doesn't take too serious a tone, but you will need all your skill to solve some of the mazes on offer in here.

Probably one of our favourite spreads, incredible shells of all shapes, sizes and colours |
C's best maze: The shell maze.
Daddy's favourite maze: I love all the crazy internal stuff on Nemo's submarine, The Nautilus. Such a great idea for a book, would love to see more classics get this treatment!
"20,000 Leagues Under the Sea: A Puzzle Adventure" by Aleksandra Artymowska is out now, published by Big Picture Press (kindly supplied for review).
