Dear Librarian,

Solving jigsaw puzzles is quite fun!  And, it seems to be true: once you start, you can’t stop.  Well, that’s ok; keep solving because working on jigsaw puzzles does have some benefits.  For example, when solving a puzzle you increase these skills: reasoning, deducing, analyzing, sequencing, and developing logical thought and problem solving skills. What’s more important though is the fun.  Solving a jigsaw puzzle especially with friends is fun.  If you’re solo though without a physical puzzle here are some great online versions: JigZone.com,  National Geographic Puzzles, or Crea Soft.  They all include an easy, average, and hard version.  I solved this soccer ball puzzle in 10 minutes and 24 seconds.  How fast can you?
