I loved the graphics and the idea of finding the illustration that doesn't fit in on each page. The only downside to this book is after a few times the young reader will know exactly where to look and then this volume will no longer be as interesting as it was the first few times around. But, for a school library or classroom this book would certain be a big hit!Book provided by publisher.

This book is beautiful to look at and fun to read. My son is three and not a good "looker" (can never find his shoes or his toy that is right next to him!). This book is fun and helps him focus his attention to finding the "odd" item on each page. Fun for him to do alone or with an adult.

This has the feel of a 1960's book (even down to the texture of the cover) with modern and appealing color choice and design. I am looking forward to putting it in the school library where I work. The children will love the "search and find" illustrations and the fun poetry of the text. I'm not sure whether they will choose the book again once they have found the odd one on each page. I will have to find that out when I share it with my grandchildren this weekend. So charming!

Based upon the reviews, I decided to check this book out from the local library instead of purchasing it. I would agree with previous reviewers that borrowing is better than purchasing. Your child will quickly learn the answers and therefore this book may get old quickly. However, that being said, it is a good book and my son is really enjoying it. Most of the answers are not too hard for him to find (2 years old, almost three). However, on a couple of pages, it is hard for him to understand what is the correct answer. For example, on the panda page (image attached) you are supposed to find the panda not holding bamboo. On the right side of the page is a panda that is not technically the correct answer, but his arm that would be holding the bamboo is cut off, so my son does not understand why that panda is not the correct answer and why the panda that you can see completely is the more correct answer. Overall, a good book, just not quite perfect and a better book to borrow from the library than purchase.

The artwork in this book is beautiful. I purchased two of these as gifts for toddlers and the books are durable, large, and vibrant. I might recommend this book for the 3 and up crowd because my toddler has a hard time finding the "odd one out" on his own, but the pictures are beautiful and it's fun to read. Highly recommend!

This is an awesome book! On one page there is a really wonderfully written poem that gives you a clue about what odd one out your looking for. On the other page is all the same of one animal except the odd one out. My kids and I had so much fun searching together. The illustrations are cute! Very good read together book!

My 5 year old checked this one out at the library, not knowing what it was about, and it ended up being one of her favorites. Even though she remembered where all the items were that she had to "spot" after looking through it just a few times, she still wanted to read it every day. Once it went back to the library, I went straight to and put it in my cart. Now even my 2 year old enjoys looking at it and spotting the animals they ask you to find.When I first glanced at the book, I thought it was several decades old. The look and feel of the outside, along with the illustrations themselves instantly put you in mind of the books our parents might have checked out of the library when they were young. So I was surprised to see that it just came out THIS year! I love the "old" look and feel... Makes it even better!

This book is awesome! My 4 and 5 year olds love hidden pictures, I-spy books, that kinda thing. This book is actually really challenging - they found "the odd one out" a few times before I did. Cute, short rhymes to go with each page. My 4 year old only likes to do a few pages at a time, whereas the 5 year old would love it if this book had 100 pages.
