Jean Marzollo | author of I SPY

I love the cover of this book. It's one of my favorite I SPY covers, thanks to the beautiful photography of Walter Wick.
My sons Dan and Dave helped me write it. While this book makes a lovely present for Easter, it really is an all-year-
round book celebrating joy and imagination.

Like Marzollo and Wick's earlier titles for the Scholastic Reader
(Level 1) series, this book targets beginning readers, presenting seek-and-find games based on photos from the large-format I Spy picture books. In the first section, double-page spreads pair short rhymes and four photos of individual objects with larger scenes that include those objects along with many others. In the second section, each page challenges readers to find two matching words among three choices, based on initial letters, ending letters, or rhyming sounds. Sharpening children's visual discrimination and concentration, this colorful book offers a playful approach to reading skills. BOOKLIST
