Very Creative!

We also have the first version and I bought this one for my younger son. This is such a fun book and every time you open it and look at these pictures (and you will catch yourself doing this a lot!) you see something different. This is wonderful in getting the child to think, look, explore and problem solve and what a fun way to do this!

What a Great Book

My son received this for his 9th birthday. The adults loved it as much as he did. My mom ordered several more copies to use as a games at "grown-up" parties. Even the little ones liked it because you don't need to be able to read. This is a great book for all ages and well worth the money.

This book is awesome!

I bought a number of copies of this book, one for me and the rest for gifts. I also bought the original Look-Alikes book in multiple quantities. I hate to admit it, but I'm 44, an engineer, and keep both books in my office. I'm sure the kids love them, but hey aren't we all little kids at heart! Enjoy!

You don't have to know how to read to enjoy this treasure.

This is one of the best books we have bought our 3yrs old boy. He got if for Christmas, but didn't get to enjoy it on his own for several days, because all the adults kept looking at it. I often find myself looking at it and find different things each time. Go ahead, get it!

Fascinating for all ages!

I haven't purchased this yet, just have the library copy here. I heard about the adult version when it first came out, but didn't know there was a Look-Alikes for kids. I don't know what the age recommendation on this it, but my 3 1/2-yr-old is absolutely fascinated by it! Guess what he's getting for Christmas! And since I love things like this, everytime he says, "Mommy, come look at my library picture book" I drop what I'm doing and sit down with him. To me, that is the ultimate compliment - this book has prompted me to sit and concentrate on spending time with my child more often, and that's priceless. And believe it or not, most of the objects in the pictures aren't that obvious to adults, so when I point them out to him (excited that I myself found them), he's absolutely delighted. We've tried to push toys on our son that are not passive, where he sits and watches a battery-operated thingy do whatever it does, toys that encourage active participation and imagination, and I can't imagine anything better than this book. Just my thought, but I think this book and the original Look-Alikes are invaluable tools for teaching people of all ages to thing outside the box, shift your perception, and that's something that's good for all of us! Guess you can tell that I can't say enough good things about this, Ms. Steiner is an absolute genius.
