"For the 'half' of the I Spy team with the vastly easier job, Jean Marzollo sure wasn't trying very hard when she came up with the riddles for this one."

Saw this at the library and felt like a kid again.

Had to watch a You-Tube video to confirm some of the things I found and to flat out show me ones that were beyond my capabilities; I get that it's supposed to be super challenging (hence the name), but a HINT of an object isn't the same thing as an object (*ahem* a horse's butt hardly counts as 1 horse), especially if the object doesn't have any unique attributes (the button buried 3/4 in the sand??)

kids loved it

Was disappointed that this one was all recycled pages. It was a collection of pages from other I Spy books with new things to find so many of the pictures I had already seen before.

Good all around family fun.

My toddler is a visual learner and loves all of the I Spy books. She always has one or two checked out from the library. They have been great vocabulary builders for her because there are so many items in the pictures that I would not otherwise think to show her. I do not usually read the text to her. We enjoy talking about what she sees, or I will randomly choose things to tell her I spy, and she looks for them. Sometimes, we will look for the items listed in the text together.

***same review, different book...***

so, one could infer that this book is on my "completed" list
because I am desperately trying to reach my reading goal, but I also
enjoyed finding the objects with my child.
It is a bit like "o.k." let's do this together...and then 30 minutes
later it was still entertaining...so that's that.

I don't think my 4 year old was ready for these. Waldo books were easier for some reason. I think it's because he knew exactly what he was looking for, but in the I Spy books he didn't have an exact picture to match it too.

children love checking these out to search for pictures, its funny how many said they practiced their reading stills reading the words.

A collection of seek and find puzzles for school-agers with rhyming text and bonus challenges.

This title takes readers through the months of the year with themed puzzles.
