About this title

Review:

Eagle-eyed young readers who can't get enough of Walter Wick and Jean Marzollo's always fresh picture-riddle books (I Spy, I Spy Treasure Hunt, I Spy Gold Challenger, etc.) will be tickled pink to see this celebration of the seasons. Featuring Wick's trademark crisply photographed scenes and Marzollo's clever rhyming riddles, this festive volume follows the holidays and months of the year, asking readers to spy beach balls, shovels, and "a surfin' fella" on the sand in June, and exclamation points, a Q, erasers, and a yellow three on a classroom chalkboard in September. From January to December (with some tricky extra credit riddles at the end), "Picture riddles fill this book; / Turn the pages! Take a look! / Use your mind, use your eye; / Read the riddles--play I SPY!" (Ages 3 to 7) --Emilie Coulter
