I Spy Year Round Challenger Picture Riddles

With hundreds of thousands of copies sold, the bestselling I Spy series is being relaunched with a new design and a foil jacket. This bestselling book features a collection of favorite I Spy riddles that send readers searching though 12 photographs and 12 months of the year in search of hidden objects. Editorial Reviews Amazon.com 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 From Publishers Weekly Jean Marzollo's riddles and Walter Wick's smashing photography combine from an amalgam of previous hits in I Spy Year-Round Challenger! A Picture Book of Riddles. "I spy three walnuts, four almonds, four bows," begins January's riddle, and "The Holly and the Ivy" is from I Spy Christmas. In November's "Nature Close Up": "I spy a pencil, four blueberries, a bee/ And a winged pair of seeds from a maple tree." Copyright 2002 Cahners Business Information, Inc.
