This I Spy book with a Christmas theme is sure to please those who love search-and-find books. We enjoyed searching for birds in the snow, Christmas cookies and candy, and ornaments of course! Both the scenes and photography are beautiful. An added plus are all the punch out ornaments. The book states that eight ornaments are given, but ours only had four total ornaments once assembled. We enjoyed assembling them and this is a wonderful Christmas edition we're happy to have.
I read this to my son for his daily reading time. He is a little young to understand the concept of I Spy, but I used it to basically have him follow my hand when I pointed to different things in the pictures.
