I generally appreciate 'hidden object' books for the very young – they make junior audiences engage with books and their pages for longer, and what prose book could make you share and point when you're boasting that you know where everything is and you know the answers? – someone with an inside-out knowledge of these books can only feel proud for it. This is on the simple side, where every scene has a dozen things to find, six in common and six unique to each spread. There are no "now go back and spot…" sequel lines, even if you might want to check how many lost blue socks there are, as they turn up more routinely than you might think.
But then things like odd socks turning up is the whole point here, as this is about the surprising fantasy worlds of magic under your bed – dust bunnies, dream factories, things in a gridiron-styled competition with the hoover head. It was unfortunate then that I didn't really like any of the scenarios included, nor the descriptive paragraph for each one – and I wasn't totally sold on the art style either. But then I'm not the intended audience. The target here is someone who absorbs this, and gets used to forensic and long-term use of a book, growing from needing help to spot everything to, as I say, demanding other people sit down and get shown where all the answers are – and possibly twice on Sundays. This use of a simple book like this to get kids returning to them, choosing their own, retaining their insight and just generally reusing them, is priceless.
Marry that to my three and a half star rating as easily as you can – this is a wonder, where so many similar books do better. Go find the logic there – but it's not under my bed, as far as I know...
