Description

Feed kids' hunger for fun, challenging puzzles with this seek-and-find title dedicated to food. To-find lists that include both pictographs and word labels task readers with finding hundreds of objects hidden in full-color photos of soups, donuts, eggs, pizza, sushi, and more. Seek-and-find books are valuable tools for word acquisition and print engagement. They provide inherent rewards for scrupulous attention, often with humor and visual surprises. The best combine visually pleasing compositions with varied textures and harmonious or brilliant color palettes. It's a lot harder to put together an effective "I Spy" composition than you might think, and the team at Capstone has done a beautiful job with this series. Crystal clear photography and printing are paired with clean, consistent design, with objects to be found listed across the bottom of the pages with their photographs.
