This is much more than just a children's book (although I'm sure it delights kids.) Amazingly detailed and photographed scenes draw you through a series a pictures detailing a journey through a spooky house. Along the way you search for items in the pictures, but it's much more than a simple find-the-hidden-objects puzzle because the scenes are filled with dozens of weird things that you aren't even asked to find. This book is great fun with friends of all ages!
If you like any of the I SPY series of books, you'll love this one. The photos are all quite gripping; ghosts, haunted houses, etc.... A perfect gift for any kid (or adult) who loves spooky puzzles!
Some people took stars off the rating based on the images being too dark. Its I Spy Spooky Night so a few pages are within a dark night but none are hiding things in the shadowed parts of the pages. Turn a lamp on and the pages dont appear dark.This book is great for kids AND adults. I enjoy sitting with my 9 year old seeing who could find items first. The book keeps you entertained for a while. Its neat to find all the hidden items and do the bonus stuff in the back of the book.I photographed several pages to show that its not dark. Just look through the book in adequate lighting.
Package arrived quickly, securely, and with no damage. LOVE this book - its my favorite out of all the I Spy books. I am an adult and I don't have kids, I purchased this as more of a coffee table book and its wonderful. All the little details are so mesmerizing and ethereal. Its entertaining and challenging even for adults. A great bonding experience to complete the pages with friends, and there are all sorts of little surprises in the images. The entire I Spy series is a wonderful form of inspiration for designers and photographers. Would highly recommend.
Great book! My 3 year old loves the other, easier ISpy books and loves Halloween so I thought we would give this a try. It's a little hard and he can't read the directions on his own, but when we read it to him, he does great, finding almost all of the items on his own. This is a great challenge for our bright little boy, but not too tough to lose his interest. In addition the illustrations are amazing, keeping him excited from page to page
This book is so much fun. I am a thirty one year old collector of "children's" books and I absolutely love this series. I discovered the I Spy books in a dentist's waiting room and simply fell in love. The riddles are challenging and I Spy "Spooky Night" like I Spy "Treasure Hunt" tells a story as you go along. I really hope that the plotted I Spys are a trend for the future of the series. The photographer of this series, Walter Wick, is an absolute genius.
My daughter was enthralled with this book and had her brother do the "I spy" with her from time to time. We have a whole ton of the "I Spy" series books and she would page through these books rather loyally; the books do create children's awareness of what is around them and my daughter is rather sharp eyed. However, I do see some pages repeated from book to book. For instance, we found 2 pages in this book that were in other books we had as well.
My 8-year-old daughter loves this book! For some reason, this one is her favorite of ALL the I Spy books. She was always checking it out from the library so finally we just got her a copy to keep for Christmas.
