Busy, colorful photographed scenes constructed with plastic toy animals distinguish this puzzle book. Each spread has facing pages that are almost mirror images, except for seven subtle differences among them, which readers are invited to find. Each scene also presents a riddle, the answer to which is one of the items pictured on the spread. The creative, colorful pictures and the challenge of finding differences and particular items make this book constructive fun for prereading practice as well as sheer entertainment. Children who enjoy Jean Marzollo's "I Spy" series (Scholastic) will like this book, too.
