These books are great! The entire concept of the hidden picture gets the kids really thinking. The adventure of learning that follows each picture just amazes me. The Where's Waldo books did not appeal to our family. We love the " I spy " books and those pictures are magnificent! These books however, the pictures do captivate you but there is a learning process with each picture. My children are 10, 8, and 5 and I notice the difference in what each one asks from these pictures. I think this series is wonderful because it does combine the puzzle concept with so much else. The Great Animal Search is my 5-year-old son's favorite!
My son loves this book! If you print the number to be found next to the picture to search for (instead of the written words for the number that are already included), younger children can be self-sufficient with it. This and/or the similar books (The Great Undersea Search, The Great World Tour, etc.) are wonderful for road trips.
In The Great Animal Search there are some 100 animals to spot and identify on every double-page of this oversized book. Each scenario showcases a different part of the world and the wildlife that lives there. In addition to countless hours of puzzle solving fun, there is a wealth of fascinating animal facts presented in succinct, easy-to-read captions.
Even a child who is not reading yet will enjoy asking questions about the animals he is finding in this book. The size, layout and illustrations are great. My 3 yr old grandson was delighted. A book with "room to grow" use and pleasure.
We purchased this years ago for our nephew who loved and read it until his copy fell apart. Since it is no longer in print I purchased a used copy of this book. It was quite worn, probably due to its wonderful content. It is still quite useable and I am hoping my own grandchildren will benefit from this great little book, but due to its condition will probably not last as long as the first copy we purchased.
This book is so much fun. It has pictures of animals in their natural habitats. It tells facts about the animals. You have to search for some animals, on the borders of the page it tells how many of a species are in the search. They provide the answers at the back of the book. We've been stumped a couple of times. :)
My son loved this book so much that he slept with it the first couple weeks that he had it. Three years later it's still one of his favorites. The pictures are really detailed and a lot of fun.
.This would have to be one of the best kid's books around. My 5 year-old just loves hunting for all the hidden critters and counting them off. Sometimes all you see is a tail, or an ear, or a familiar silhouette far off on the horizon.There is no better way to get children developing a sense of the different environments around the globe and the animals that live in all the different habitats: from the arctic to the equatorial rainforests and from the mountains to the deserts; under the water and by the seaside.We have only one criticism with this book. It was my budding, junior-zoologist that spotted it. Mr Ibex in not in the comprehensive index although there are ten ibices (?) to be seen on page 26. With 300 different kinds of animals in this book, we have to give it a score of 299 out of 300, that is, almost perfect!
