Synopsis
Each spread of this toy-themed activity book features two playful photographs that appear identical. Eagle-eyed readers, however, will spot seven things that have changed from one photo to the other. Perfect for fans of the I Spy or Where's Waldo series, the popular Spot 7 books offer benefits the other series don't: comparing the two photographs helps develop important reading skills, such as differentiation and visual memory. With a riddle on each spread and extra things to look for throughout the book, Chronicle's latest search-and-find activity book is sure to provide hours of fun and games.

This collection of 12 riddles accompanied by collage-style photos will keep children entertained. Each selection is paired with two full-color photos filled with tiny toys. Upon first glance the paired pictures appear identical. However, close inspection reveals many differences, some of which are more obvious than others. The riddles range in difficulty, and their solutions can be found within the illustrations. The answers are appended. The introduction, along with additional appended lists of things to look for, direct readers to re-examine the pictures for more hidden items. A few photos are blurry, making objects within them difficult to distinguish. Readers who are unable to locate some of the hidden objects can visit the Web site for extra help. The book follows the successful format of other "Spot 7" titles. A fun addition for libraries of all sizes.-Lynn K. Vanca, Akron-Summit County Public Library, Richfield, OH
