Publishers Weekly

Damon Burnard invites readers to play the familiar "I Spy" game on each page of I Spy in the Ocean and I Spy in the Jungle, both illus. by Julia Cairns. In a spread for Ocean, for example, "something beginning with the letter A" highlights "A" in a circle, and readers can see part of a sea creature through a die-cut circle on the opposite page. Once the page is turned, the "A" shows through the circle, to begin the word "Angelfish," while the background of the full-bleed spread features the fish swimming past in colorful waters. Each book provides relevant "Animal Facts" at the end. (Aug.) Copyright 2001 Cahners Business Information.
