Hidden Cows: 1000-Piece Puzzle

Ages 14 And Up, Grades 9 And Up

Count all the cows in this charmingly silly 1,000-piece puzzle from the one and only Sandra Boynton!

At first glance, it looks like an ordinary evening at home, in the simple and tasteful living room of an ordinary pig family—mother, father, daughter, toddler, twin chickens. But look closely. As you carefully assemble the 1,000 pieces, you may begin to notice some surprising visitors: HIDDEN COWS. There are at least three of them. It’s definitely subtle, though.
