This seek and find book is part of the best-selling Learn by Playing maze picture book series by Japanese author and illustrator Gentaro Kagawa.

The 12 highly detailed, beautifully illustrated, and visually accurate maze designs are filled with quizzes and hidden objects in each maze.

A mysterious blue stone is found where a shooting star landed, and, when examined by scientists at the Space Center, a glowing pattern appears with a message from a distant planet. The journey to find the planet starts by blasting into space in a rocket ship named WHALE, visiting different constellations, the International Space Station, solar systems, and planets, collecting magical stones along the way.

Each space maze shares fun facts and quizzes about the location. When the last magic stone is found, so too is the distant planet of Nayuta where you are welcomed and learn all about this mystery planet and its people before returning home to earth.

Clues are offered to help solve each maze, as well as an answer key.

About the Author

Gentaro Kagawa, born in Matsuyama City, Ehime Prefecture, has loved mazes since childhood. His fascination with castle structures, resembling mazes, became a beloved hobby. He studied painting in high school, attended Musashino Art University, and completed graduate school in 1986. In 1989, he began illustrating castle restorations, later expanding to historical illustrations for magazines and textbooks. Inspired by his child's love for mazes, he published Maze of Time in 2005. Since then, 18 titles in the "Maze Picture Book Series" (PHP Institute) have sold over 3 million copies. Since 2017, he has co-authored with his daughter, Shiori Kagawa.
