The pieces on this puzzle line up to the provinces and states of North America. My 8-year old knows her geography really well, and the 5-year old is susprisingly good at it. The pieces in the outer edge of the puzzle interlock, but the inner ones do not (square states, for example)... so younger kids need help keeping pieces in place. A few of the larger pieces (e.g. Nunavut and Ontario) have warped a little too, making assembly even more tricky. I recommend this puzzle to adults too -- as an immigrant to the USA I had a tough time placing most of the states.

A friend recommended these puzzles to me and we started with this one. My 4 year old puts it together at least twice a day. I appreciate that the puzzle pieces are shaped like the actual state. It's been wonderful to see my son learn the names of each state and each state's geographical proximity. My only complaint is that the pieces are a little flimsy, which surprised me because it is made in Germany and we have had excellent luck with other German-made puzzles. It doesn't hinder my son, though; we just use some clear packing tape to reinforce the pieces when they start to bend a bit. My son is constantly asking me for the other puzzles in the series.
