Christmas Puzzle Books for Adults & Seniors
A Christmas puzzle book is one of the easiest gifts to get right for a parent, grandparent or the relative who has everything. It costs little, it fills the quiet stretches between the big days, and it gives someone a reason to sit down with a cup of coffee and a pencil.
This shelf gathers our holiday books for grown-ups. The large print Christmas puzzle book mixes word searches, sudoku, mazes and picture puzzles around a festive theme. The Tern Harbor murder mystery advent calendar is meant to be started on December 1: one day of a cozy whodunit and one puzzle each day until Christmas Eve, when the solver names the culprit. The shading mystery book reveals a hidden Christmas scene with nothing but pencil marks, and the large print coloring book is bold and uncluttered for relaxed coloring.
Everything is printed for comfortable reading, and the puzzle books are computer-checked so every puzzle has exactly one answer. Buying for an advent book? Order by mid-November so it arrives before the first of December.
