The photography in the book is amazing. Every picture is eye-catching and fun to search through because of all the cool little objects. My three-year old has become obsessed with this book; the utter delight on his face when he finally found the objects and the pride he takes in now being able to pick them out quickly are absolutely adorable! Some of the little figures are also reused in the differnt pictures so even though he now knows where all the figures are he still makes new discoveries when he finds the reused figures and takes great delight in comparing them.The rhynmes are simple, but appropriate with a solid rhythm kids can easily pick up on. Also, like most Scholastic Readers, the word I Spy in the second half of the book is great practice of reading skills. Young children like mine will be able to grow into the second half of the book and older kids will get some good practice. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED.
I was disappointed in this book. My son loves I Spy and I bought him this for Halloween. It has only one Halloween picture, the rest are just the regular pictures that are in all the books. He's 5 and after having it read to him 3 times he knew where all the items were hidden, so it's a very easy book. There are a few pages at the back that ask you to match words but these are actually fairly difficult. For example, they ask you to find two words that start with TR. In the question, T and R are capitalized, but they are not in the answers. This is hard for a beginning reader. In summary the pictures are easy perhaps for a 3 or 4 year old. The reading is much more difficult - I'd say 1st/second grade.
When our now 25 year old son, was but a toddler, he loved the I spy books we had for him. Though back then they were hardcover. Now, his daughter, age 6, sent a text to me "Nana, do you know what kind of Book I REALLY would love to have?" (yes, like her father she too has a very high IQ for a six year old) I asked her which book? She said the I Spy Books! I was thrilled. I've purchased several, and am very thankful they are all soft-covered so when we ship them to Nevada, where she lives with her mother, and younger siblings, it will not cost as much. I LOVE that this book is a Generational Favorite. As a child in the 60's I do not recall if they were called I Spy, but I do remember spending time searching for objects on the page of a book! Now, I do it online, when me peepers are up to it. We will see our Sweet Jayde, and her sisters and brother in August for a whole week! While their parents are on a mini-vacation. THANK YOU! The prices, while well withing my budget, are well worth that and MORE for my Granddaughter's Heart and MINE! Bless YouI
Wonderful book! My 2 year old daughter adores I Spy books. She really finds these books entertaining! She will sit with me and ready "I Spy ...." And find the objects listed. I Spy books have helped her with object recognition. She will look around the room now and say "I Spy a red book" to play games with me! She started reading I Spy when she was a little younger than 2!
I'm not a super fan of them, I find them a bit busy and sometimes too difficult at times, but my toddler LOVES them. They're very easy for him to do by himself pre-reading, and are easily some of his all-time favorite books. I know they aren't meant for toddlers, but all but perhaps one page is easily doable for them (mine is 2.5), which can be difficult for even adults to do. We bought several of these and I don't remember which book has what objects, but overall the previous comment applies and they're great as a whole.
My grandson loved this book from the moment I first gave it to him. At three years old, he has learned to read with the help of this book.He loves the game of searching for missing items. Given a small looking glass, he checks out all the details of every picture. After this, he goes over the words on the pages and the clues of finding rhyming words, etc.It's one of the few books out of hundreds I have for him that he requests over and over again!
I was going to buy this book because my son loves vehicles and has recently gotten very interested in look and find books. At 2 1/2 he can spend a long time concentrating on each page if the book is about things he's interested in. Although this book would seem to have a lot of vehicles, it doesn't. It's also easier, less visually entertaining and artistic, and less full of stuff, than the full size versions. Which is probably good for a younger child, but to my surprise, even at his age, it was too easy...and less fun for me too. BTW My son LOVED Dream Machine, a Can you see what I see book.
I bought this for my 4 year old nephew, and on Christmas Eve, he did not want to stop going through this book with me! He loved looking for the items and would get excited if he spied one before me! The pictures are so cute, fun and adventurous feeling in this book, and they really grab your attention.
