Do you like challenges? You'll find plenty in this entertaining book filled with cleverly hidden pictures. Look closely at each of the 24 full-page illustrations to discover some very unusual objects located in out-of-the-way places.
A peaceful tableau of a lion and its mate reveals — on closer examination — a clothespin, spool of thread, teddy bear, and ear of corn, among other items. And that appealing scene of puppies at play also includes a barbecue fork, seahorse, two carrots, party cap, fireman's ax, and an ice cream scoop.
Older children and adults can sharpen their perception skills as they look for hidden pictures. Each charmingly rendered illustration is accompanied by a list of the items to be found in that picture.
These fun books are coloring books as well as hidden picture books. Each one contains full-page scenes with many objects hidden in the background. The fun scenes have many different themes and can be colored in with crayons, colored pencil, or marker. Kids can color them before or after finding the 12-20 hidden objects, although it's easier to find the objects beforehand. Each object to be found is shown and labeled next to the scene so kids will know exactly what to look for. Though recommended for grades 4-7, the hidden objects can be quite tricky to find and older puzzle-lovers may enjoy looking for them too. Solutions are included in the back of each book. pb. ~ Rachel
