This standalone 3D puzzle is an intricate and dazzling balancing act with 38 colorful shapes that combine to form an exotic, abstract tree—plus countless bonus configurations—designed by renowned illustrator Bob Staake.
Alexander Calder meets Dr. Seuss with this brilliant puzzle that offers a unique building experience perfect for any puzzler or modern art enthusiast. The thirty-eight brightly colored die-cut pieces (called pARTz) fit together to form an astonishing standing sculptural art piece. You can also build countless simpler sculptures using fewer pARTz. One side of the 18x24-inch poster enclosed with the puzzle shows a dinosaur, a giraffe, a bird, and a plane as examples. The other side provides step-by-step instructions for building the Tree. This is an eye- and hand-engaging activity that will provide hundreds of hours of creative fun for puzzle lovers, art lovers, and tinkerers of all ages.
Bob Staake's 2006 Golden Book The Red Lemon was a New York Times Best Illustrated Children's Book of the Year. His 2008 Golden Book The Donut Chef received glowing reviews from The Wall Street Journal and Publishers Weekly. In addition to his work with Random House, Bob's titles include Mary Had a Little Lamp (Bloomsbury), Look! A Book! (Little Brown), and Cars, Galore (Candlewick). Outside of his work in children's publishing, Bob's illustrations have also been seen on several popular New Yorker covers, including the 11/17/08 "Reflection" cover that is officially the most popular New Yorker cover of all time. In 2008, Bob was the recipient of Time magazine's 2008 Best Magazine Cover award.
