This book is very clever. I enjoyed going through the images with a five year old boy that I nanny for and finding all of the things we were supposed to find. The puzzles are challenging and addicting. We kept going and going until they were all done. I loved all of the little details in each image. You could look at one photograph for hours and still find something new. I also liked the way the entire book was set up. It seemed that many picture were a zoomed in version of the picture following it. The more he zooms in, the more details you can see and put together. A very interesting puzzle book. ( )
