OF ALL THE jigsaw puzzles
out there, my favorites are
Dowdle puzzles, and a new
collection is available at
Costco this month.
Why do I like these the
best? Artist Eric Dowdle
carefully crafts each puzzle
with his inimitable folksy
style, showcasing iconic
views of people and places
around the world, including national parks,
stadiums and cities.
There are many new titles this year, and
the collections at your local warehouse are
regionally specific. For example, in the Northeast you’ll find the Best of Massachusetts
and the Best of New York. In the Southeast
there’s the Best of Tennessee, Savannah and
Miami Beach. In the West you can find
Vancouver, British Columbia, Denver and
The Best of California.
The puzzles come in three sizes: 1,000-piece
puzzles ( 19 x 26 inches), and 500-piece and 100-
piece puzzles ( 16 x 20 inches.) They are sized to
be frame-ready when completed or put back in
the box to start an annual family tradition.
The final piece of the puzzle: As a Costco
member, you’ll save more than 25 percent over
the price of the same puzzles sold elsewhere.

Before she was Wonder Woman™
The coming-of-age story of one of the

A fresh take
on learning
This award-winning
series may look like
board books, but little
readers will interact
with them as if they’re
toys. Thick, die-cut
pages of shapes and
charming art offer a
hands-on approach
to favorite childhood
topics. Numbers,
letters and shapes
jump off the page
as children discover
each story. Collect the
new Buildablock,
Alphablock
and more.
It’ll cure what ails ya
Mrs. Piggle-Wiggle charmed readers
in the 1940s, and now the author’s
great-granddaughter is reviving
the beloved series for modern
readers. These days, Missy is
in charge at the upside-down
house in two new adventures.
Celebrate imagination
Turn the page to a new
adventure! When Tuesday
McGillycuddy and her
dog, Baxter, happen upon a
mysterious and unpredictable
place that stories come from,
things will never be the same.
Fun, on the go!
Little First Look and Find collections
offer four books, packaged in a handy,
reusable vinyl bag. Velcro closures keep
your treasures secure for reading you can
take any where. Choose your favorites
