I Spy Little Wheels is a board book / picture book which has small distinct images for children to find in corresponding larger more intricate pictures. For example, it has a picture of a car on the left page, and the right page is a bigger mural of many different colored objects, including the car. Similar to Highlights Magazines where children have to find certain hidden objects, except the objects are less hidden and more distinct. The book is a lot of fun for children and I highly recommend it for collections aimed at children ages 5 and under. ( )

ISBN 059004706x – 5 stars. All of the I Spy books are fantastic and this one, featuring vehicles of all kinds, is particularly nice for boys who normally don’t care about books. They’ll start looking for cars and suddenly… they’re involved in a book!

Simple rhyming text on the left-hand pages accompanies clear images of individual items that are hidden in the photos on the right-hand pages. Lots of trucks, cars, planes and more – and when you’re done, you can create your own “can you find…” games!

Where’s Waldo type books have amused me for my entire adult life, so finding books that introduce children to the idea so young made me very happy. Little children, who usually have the attention span of gnats, will suddenly be deep in concentration and entirely focused as they search for the hidden things. Some are surprisingly well-hidden, especially in those photos where a single color dominates or the item you’re searching for is well-hidden by lack of light. Wick and Marzollo – what a team!

Kids like these "find the hidden . . ." books. If these are what grab your reluctant reader, great! ( )
