Description
'Crisp design and bold colours create visual intrigue in companion title I Spy 123 as well. Families looking with their little eyes for seek-and-find activity need peer no longer.' -Kirkus. Like its companion I Spy 123, this colourful search book is hiding a cornucopia of toys, sweets, foods, wooden beads, dolls, natural items and much more, all hidden within a letter. Searching for them while learning the alphabet - as well as colours, counting, vocabulary, memory and attention - is a fun experience of surprise and achievement. On each letter page are short rhyming verses setting the reader's task to find specific items and providing hints of where those might be found. The answers to the rhymes - where is that toy horse? - are at the back of the book. This is a great book for sharing, quiet time and bedtime, and for early childhood learning, discovery, and development.
