This puzzle takes me back to 1920 for sure. By reading the book and finishing the puzzle you get an immersive experience.

Books and puzzles are my ultimate duo. It's rare that I’m puzzling without an audiobook playing in the background. Bookworm takes this connection to the next level by offering book-and-puzzle combos. Since reading a physical book while puzzling isn’t exactly practical, I listened to the audiobook while I worked on the puzzle. Later, I picked up the book to continue where I left off. I’ve always loved reading before bed, so this combo made diving into the story—and the puzzle—so much more immersive.

Bookworm’s mission is to "bring stories and artistic expressions to life, one puzzle at a time." They also support artists, which is something I’m really passionate about. I loved how seamlessly they blended these two worlds together.

I’ll be honest, though—I was intimidated by this puzzle at first. There was so much yellow, white, and green, and I was convinced it would take me forever to finish. But as soon as I started, I realized the pieces are all uniquely shaped—no false fits, which is my absolute pet peeve with puzzles. The build was surprisingly smooth! Naturally, I tackled the easy parts first: Dorothy, the Lion, Scarecrow, Tin Man, and Toto. Even the tricky-looking sections weren’t overwhelming.

I did have one small piece of feedback: the puzzle box is pretty large. When I mentioned this, Bookworm was super receptive and let me know they’re already planning to reduce the box size.

Overall, I loved the puzzle and the whole book-and-puzzle concept. They also have combos for Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland, Moby Dick, and The Great Gatsby. If you love reading and puzzling, I recommend checking them out!

It was fun re-reading this old classic.

The Moby Dick is a fun puzzle to put together. The illustration is fun and engaging.
