This book has 30 pages of puzzles. Some puzzles from both The Alice
Springs School of the Air Puzzle Book and The Fantastic Flying
Doctors' Puzzle Book are included, with many new puzzles. All

"Denise Sutherland has come up with the goods once again. There is no better way for teachers and parents - and grandparents - to stimulate kids' appetite for history than these inventive puzzles. A good historian is part detective and part scientist, but must also be a little playful and imaginative - just the qualities fostered here."
