My Review
Sometimes the simple things are the best! In this series of books, double page photographic spreads hide tiny objects to be discovered. A simple rhyming riddle at the bottom of each page tells children what to look for. For long car journeys, or 'I'm bored' moments in the summer holidays, these books are just brilliant! I also love that they are equally challenging as an adult, so they are genuinely fun to sit down with together, and work really well for groups of 2 or three children to pore over together - perfect for harmonious sibling moments! My children will still get these out now occasionally and they are in their teens, so they are a great investment.
Heads Up!
There is a whole series of these books - 'I Spy; Treasure Hunt' is one of our favourites.
