Review by Booklist Review
Gr. 2^-5. The immensely popular I Spy series presents photographed setups of carefully arranged objects with riddles underneath each picture that encourage children to find particular objects in the photo. This series entry includes photographs that the author and photographer decided were their favorites from previous books, and substitutes more difficult riddles for the original ones, challenging children who like a truly vigorous search. As in earlier books, a list of riddles at the end gives young seekers the opportunity to work backwards and find the picture that matches the riddle. With the added level of difficulty, this is not just a retread of old material but an enjoyable puzzle for determined eyes and brains. --Susan Dove Lempke

Review by Horn Book Review
Classic photographs from seven previously published I Spy volumes are repackaged with a different set of rhymes asking readers to hunt for new objects in each double-page spread. As with other titles in this series, this book will appeal to picture puzzle fans, but there's not much that's fresh or original here. From HORN BOOK Spring 1999, (c) Copyright 2010.
