    Very cute! The one on the right bears a striking resemblance to Abe Vigoda, the old fossil.

    My kids saw some recently and really liked them. I was thinking of getting them a book of them but can't figure out what to search on.

    Thanks!

    I've seen things like that in the MindWare catalog. They have 3 books called Word Winks which I think are what you are looking for. Those were always so much fun smile

    ETA: It looks like they call them visual wordplay puzzles (also visual verbal puzzles)

    I've seen them called "brain teasers" and some other names. Here are some from Critical Thinking, on sale right now:

    Just noticed the Frame Games series, by Terry Stickels.
