Our little guy loves Thomas & Friends. We thought this would be a nice addition (something different) for his collection of books and couldn't be more pleased with the purchase. For our 3-yr-old, not all of the items to look for are blatantly obvious (e.g., "find Thomas the Train Engine"), nor are they too obscure (e.g., "find a towel with this *particular* red & yellow pattern amidst the 500 other towels with similar red & yellow patterns"). There seem to be a nice balance of both, allowing some easy successes (good confidence builders) as well as some slightly more challenging options. Simple. Colorful. Great for the imagination (we make up stories about what people are doing).
My 23 month old twin boys and I love this book. The detail and colors are great! Each page is filled with all sorts of things for them to look at. Unfortunately, I did not realize it was a paper book, not a board book when I ordered it. Nevertheless, I've kept it and only pull it out with close supervision. And still, my boys have ripped out 4 pages so far. Good book, but definitely for older kids who can be careful with their books.
Got this as a gift for my 4 year old nephew. He opened it and started reading it immediately! The items are not as hard to find as in Where's Waldo, but it's perfect for his age. The back of the book has a different set of look-and-find items listed out once the initial items are found, letting him have a second go at each spread!
I ordered the Thomas Look and Find book because my 2 1/2 yr old son loves Thomas & Friends. The book is good quality, but I was disappointed by the content. We have the Toy Story 3 Look and Find book, and many of the Toy Story characters are hidden on every page. I thought this book was going to be the same with intricate pictures and little trains hidden all over every page. Instead, it has a scene on each page with a couple of the trains (they are large and obvious, not to look and find) then asks you to find 5 or 6 other items. That's fine, but I wish the little trains were hidden all over too. I think my son was disappointed too.
If you've bought Look & Find books in the past, you will be disappointed with this one. The difficulty level on this book is very low and the items are often large and stand out. The "activity" on each page is also lacking. We've bought these books over the past two years and have noticed the quality decreasing and the imagination in he scenes beginning to lack.Our first L&F was a Winnie the Pooh where the pages were cluttered with activity and things going on in the scene, which made it challenging (the point of the book!) to find the items. It actually took time and brain power. One from last year (Planes) was less cluttered, but still took good effort to locate the items. This one, however, is awful.
Couples two of my son's favorite things - Thomas and "I Spy." The pictures are bright and the characters follow the series. My son is able to find the items but not too easily. After 100 times are so, he memorized the pages but it still keeps him interested.
This large board book is so colorful and well illustrated. Something like a "Where's Waldo" but easier for younger children. Our 2yr. old toddler loves to re-read this and try to remember where she 1st found certain items on each page. You can ask her to find other items to. It's not a matching game or memory game. It does enhance concentration I think.
We've looked at several of these Look and Finds - Handy Manny, Cars, Sesame/Elmo, etc and I find this to be the most disappointing. The items to find are rather obvious and easily memorized by my 3 year old. There is an added find item - a puppy on each page which is a little more challenging and lists of things to find in the back of the book. However, as my son can't read yet he can't do this on his own and it is annoying to be flipping the book back and forth to the end when I do it with him. I MUCH prefer the Disney Cars book which has pictures in the back for the additional items to find.
