Author/Editor Comments:
helps young readers to associate pictorial symbols with objects or words; creates an opportunity for young readers to engage with print books and fosters a love of reading

Review Quotes:
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. VERDICT Pretty additions to a popular genre.--Paula Willey, Enoch Pratt Free Library "School Library Journal"

Publisher Marketing:
Treat kids to a seek-and-find field trip to the zoo. Penguins, pandas, porpoises, and countless other animals make finding the hidden objects in the full-color photo puzzles a delightfully furry and feathered challenge. Pictographs and word labels are included in each to-find list.
