Migloo's Day

by William Bee

From the iconic creator of Whatever, William Bee, comes a brand new series and the ultimate search-and-find story book experience. Meet Migloo - everyone's favourite dog - and follow him on his adventures through Sunnytown as he follows his nose for delicious treats, meets all his friends along the way and even saves the day! Jam-packed town scenes illustrate the adventures of Sunnytown's residents through comical, visual narratives (follow Milo the Monkey who has run away with Zebedee's hat or spot the little rubber ducks that have escaped the plastics factory) and spot all of the town's vehicles on the eye-watering gatefold - fire engines, tractors, ice-cream vans, racing cars and fork-lift tricks! With a chock-a-block play page at the end of the book, too, there are so many hours of interactive fun to be had!

Migloo, an adorable dog with plenty of friends, spends the day going to the market, to the town square, to the factory, the fire station, to school, and even to a garage. At just about every place, he is given something to eat or enlisted to help in some way. Readers are asked to find certain objects or individuals in some very colorful illustrations that completely cover the large pages of the book. Although this will have kid-appeal, there is simply too much to look at for my feeble eyes. I guarantee that this one will keep many children very busy, though.

Kun Scarry ja Tatupatumaisuus viedään yliäärimmilleen, saadaan Moppe pelastaa päivän. Uskomatonta mainoskuvitusta tuhannella yksityiskohdalla ja tietysti niitä tehtäviä. Löysin sadasta asiasta ehkä kaksi, mutta minä en olekaan kärsivällinen neljävuotias :p.

My 4-year-old son spent hours looking at this book! It reminds me of the Richard Scarry books with its many details and busy pictures. We see Migloo out and about in a town, interacting with people as they go about their days. On each page, there are things to find among the very cute illustrations. Readers get to know the characters, their names and what their jobs are in the community. It turned into a fun little memory game for us to play along with some fun and pretty challenging searches.

Wow. My son and I love looking at this book. There is so much to read and talk about. As he gets older, he has outgrown some of William Bee's books but this one, this one is still pulled off the shelf. It will probably stay in his book collection until he outgrows it and then it will move into mine. This book just makes me smile.

Moppe-koira seikkailee yksityiskohtia vilisevässä kuvakirjassa. 3-vuotias tykästyi Moppeen kovasti ja aikuinen lukija kiittää johdonmukaisesta tarinasta kirjassa. Kuvat ja satu ovat selvästi eri kulttuurista, kun esimerkiksi lapsilla on koulupuvut ja opettajia puhutellaan sukunimillä. Kirjassa on jonkin verran stereotyyppisiä henkilöhahmoja, joiden nimet muistuttavat hullunkurisia perheitä.

It's a bit of a cross between a seek and find and Where's Waldo. There's a lot going on this book, but the illustrations are not too overwhelming. There is a key in the front of the book that explains who the townspeople are. This is a nice little busy book.

Thank you to the publisher for my ARC (Advance Review Copy) which was sent to me free to read and provide a review if wished.

This is a great book which is very much in the style of Where's Wally but not so crammed that a younger child couldn't spot Migloo or any of the other characters etc that are on each page. The illustrations are bright and colourful and there is absolutely tons of little searches and tasks to keep a child amused. The book is a little bit too old for my daughter at the moment although she does like looking through the pages and spotting things alongside myself and my slightly older son.

There is an actual story to the book and not just a character search on each page which I really like and adds another element to the book itself. The story follows a little dog called Migloo and his adventure packed day through the town of Sunnytow. There are tons of characters throughout the book and these are also all individually introduced on the first few pages. On each page there are little question time boxes that ask for your child to search for certain characters and items but there is also a further two pages of activites on William Bee's Busy Page at the back of the book so plenty to keep your child entertained and searching in this book.

A great finding/searching book which is in the style of Where's Wally but also has an actual story to it too. My son likes this book although I suspect he's still a little too young to completely benefit from the book but he keeps asking for the story to be read and we keep doing little searches too.

Migloo is a small dog that lives in Sunnytown. This book follows Migloo as he goes about his day through town. Dispersed through the search-and-find pages are story pages that describe Sunnytown and its citizens. At the back of the book are more search-and-find challenges. The illustrations are cute and the items range from easy to hard to find. I am still looking for Tiny Mouse on pages 4 and 5. A slight down point of this book is that you either have to be very familiar with the townspeople or you have to keep turning to the front of the book to see who you are supposed to be finding. Other than that, it will keep children busy with a fun activity.

A search-and-find adventure invites readers to spot hidden items as they follow fun-loving dog Migloo throughout his day, during which he visits the town square, the market, school, and other locations.

[Karen · Rating 3 out of 5]

This book is a search-and-find book that follows Migloo, a little dog. Since this book relies heavily on the artwork, and I wasn't especially crazy for the artwork, this book didn't strike me as being anything special.

Busy, busy, busy!

Lots to look at but I am not fond of the story line.

A modern day Richard Scarry book! As a kid I could have poured over this for days!

Mopeissa etsiminen ei ole kovin helppoa, mutta siksi se onkin mielenkiintoista.
