I Spy Little Book (I Spy Books)

Summary: Getting better with age!
Review: Even though several of the reviews say that these books are too young for any child over the age of 3, I disagree.

We have 3 of these books (this one, I Spy Wheels, I Spy Letters) and my son, age 5, is still enjoying them, but in just a different way. We now play "I Spy" the traditional way with..."I Spy something that is yellow and floats." And then I have to guess what he is talking about (i.e. boat). And then I do the same. We continue until we have described everything in each of the pages. Yes, it takes a long time to go through the books, but it is so wonderful for his critical thinking skills.

Any now my 21 month old daughter gets to enjoy these books. They just don't wear out! One of the best gifts around!!

Summary: Loads of fun finding stuff...for awhile
Review: I got this as a gift for my nephew..I heard great things about it when he first got it (from his mom)..but after awhile I think the 'novelty' wore off. We have some of the I Spy books at home here and my kids (ages 5-8)enjoy them but have found all the things they ask for in the book all too quickly. The fun in the books lies within all the stuff that they don't ask you to find..that you find! After awhile I find the searching wears thin...a better recommendation: Where's Waldo? books! Definitely a better challenge! This one is good for the toddlers though!

Summary: A real treasure hunt!
Review: Keep this book on hand for a real toddler treasure hunt. Take it with you to restaurants and car trips. It's fantastic. We have devoured this one. We've discovered a new one for even a younger child that is not to missed either; WHAT IS ROUND? In both, the photographs literally pop off the page. Keeps them happy while they are learning and discovering objects in their world!

Summary: An excellent series of books!
Review: My 18 month old would read no other books than the I Spy series for a whole week! They have shown him in a simple way the association between words and pictures. He adores them!
