Prepare to be astounded, because these are no ordinary mazes! Welcome to Mazeways, where A is for Airport, B is for Boatyard, C is for Circus, and everything is exciting. In this eye-opening world, each letter in the alphabet transforms into a fantastic maze and fingers have to trace a path through fantastically detailed environments. Navigate these puzzles as you would if you were traveling in real life: drive your car on the right side of the road, cross the street only at the crosswalks, and feel free to walk around furniture or landmarks as long as nothing blocks your path. Each maze comes with directions on how to launch into the adventure, and features really cool things to find and guide you along the way—like crocodiles and seals, clown cars and motorcycles, baseball diamonds and sunken treasure, and more!
Roxie Munro is the acclaimed author/illustrator of 30 books for children (including "Mazescapes"; "Amazement Park"; "The Inside-Outside Books of New York City" [New York Times Best Illustrated Award], "Washington DC," "Texas," "London," "Paris," and "Libraries"; "Feathers, Flaps & Flops"; "Doors"; "Gargoyles, Girders & Glass Houses"; "The Great Bridge-Building Contest"; "Ranch"; "Wild West Trail Ride Maze"; "Circus"; "Mazeways" [2007], and "Rodeo" [2007]).
Roxie has been an artist from the age of six, when she won first prize in a county-wide contest for a painting of a bowl of fruit. She has supported herself all her life on her art, at one point freelancing in Washington DC as a television courtroom artist. Clients included CBS, the Washington Post, and the Associated Press.
She also creates oils, watercolors, prints, and drawings, primarily cityscapes, which are exhibited widely in the US in galleries and museums. Roxie's work is in numerous private, public, and corporate collections. Fourteen of her paintings have appeared as covers of "The New Yorker" magazine.
Roxie Munro studied at the University of Maryland, the Maryland Institute College of Art (Baltimore), received a BFA in Painting from the University of Hawaii, attended graduate school at Ohio University (Athens), and received a Yaddo Fellowship. She lectures in museums, schools, conventions, and teaches in the Paint in Italy program.
Many oils and watercolors are views from the roof of her sky-lighted loft studio in Long Island City, just across the East River from her home in mid-Manhattan. Roxie is married to the Swedish writer/photographer, Bo Zaunders.
