Review by Publisher's Weekly Review
Celebrating the series' 20th anniversary, this collection pulls together scenes from previous I Spy books. In a typically detail-rich scene, photographed from Wick's meticulously crafted sets, flowers and potted plants are illuminated through a rain-washed window ("I spy a shovel, a bottle, a bee,/ A nail, a donkey, a wooden tee"). In a seaside town, a train ornamented with a golden seahorse arrives at the station, people ride past on motorbikes, and a sign advertises a "Lighthouse Benefit Concert." A fine look back at a beloved series; endnotes offer additional background about the collaborators. All ages. (Apr.) (c) Copyright PWxyz, LLC. All rights reserved.

Review by Horn Book Review
Celebrating twenty years of publication, this volume compiles twelve photographs from previous I Spy books; some "Extra Credit Riddles" are appended. As usual the rhyming riddles are bland, but picture-puzzlers will still love poring over the images. (c) Copyright 2011. The Horn Book, Inc., a wholly owned subsidiary of Media Source, Inc.
