Best in the series!

This is our favorite Great Search book by Usborne. It has a few puzzle within a puzzle activities for older users, though it is still a simple and enjoyable search book for toddlers. Unless you plan to do every page with your child (all day, every day!), it may be best to give this to a toddler or child who can read. My four year old reads well enough to do the searches, but has not yet read the rather complicated instructions for the auxiliary puzzles. An average six to eight year old would probably get the most out of this book. The best thing about this, as well as the Great Search books, is that kids "accidentally" learn while searching for the hidden pictures. My daughter has learned a few interesting things about other cultures from this book. Other books in the series present factoids about history, animals, habitats, etc. which promote curiosity and thoughtful questions. Nice "busy work" for home-schoolers or other bright kids. Happy hunting!
