Search and Spoth Animals! by Laura Lungkvist, Swedish artist and designer, is the perfect book for little listeners, and just plain fun to look at. Adults will appreciate Ljungkvist's attention to design and color palette, her illustrations often having the feel of a sophisticated wallpaper.
Ljungkvist begins in the city with a pretty tough challenge - find 10 cats looking out their windows. From there, readers search for seven specific dogs amidst a sea of dogs, some illustrations and some from photographs. Search and Spoth Animals! alternates between easy finds with larger images and harder finds on pages packed with details, like the forest page where you need to find rabbits and squirrels and the page filled with bugs. There is always more than one challenge per page, making Search and Spoth Animals! fun that can be spread over several readings.

In seven years, I have never reviewed a coloring book here, although I have reviewed more than a few doodle books. That said, coloring books for adults have become enormously popular in the last couple of years, fueled by the self-proclaimed Ink Evangelist, Johanna Basford, and in this season of gift giving her books are especially worth noting. More than a year ago, I was perusing the coloring book section at Barnes & Noble, looking for a gift for my son to take to a 10 year old girl's birthday party and Basford's first book Secret Garden: An Inky Treasure Hunt and Coloring Book jumped out at me. Besides being dead gorgeous, her illustrations are intricately playful magically creative. Best of all, beyond being a beautiful coloring book, Secret Garden is, as Basford says, filled with challenges like "mazes to solve, patterns to complete and lots of space for you to add your own inky drawings. Secret Garden is also a look-and-find book, with a host of creatures and other things, like a message in a bottle, a treasure chest and keys, hidden throughout the pages. The final pages of the book include a key to the Secret Garden, showing the locations of all the hidden goodies.
The Enchanted Forest: An Inky Quest & Coloring Book by Basford was published this year and offers more of the same amazing illustrations to color and a search for nine symbols that will unlock the castle door at the end of the quest, revealing a surprise. Of course, since this is a coloring book and not a computer game, finding all the symbols and unlocking the castle door is all about the honor system. The reveal are two intensely intricate gatefold spreads that are worth the effort!

I love everything that Britta Teckentrup and every thing that Big Picture Press does and I love that they are working together. Both Teckentrup and Big Picture Press have superb design values making for beautiful books that are perfect for gift giving. With Where's the Pair? A Spotting Book, Teckentrup follows up on The Odd One Out: A Spotting Book, with two rhyming stanzas that tell readers
Migloo's Day is yet another fantastic book from a new favorite of mine, William Bee. With Migloo's Day, Bee creates a cross between a Richard Scarry book and a Where's Waldo look-and-find extravaganza, making himself a character in the book.
Bee begins Migloo's Day with an introduction to the more than 65 culturally diverse characters who inhabit Sunnytown. On each page, the
I am a huge fan of look-and-find books, especially if they are geared towards the preschool crowd. Good look-and-find books at this level seem to be hard to find, but Curious George? Where is Curious George: Around the Town, which follows Where is Curious George?, are perfectly geared toward the toddler crowd. And who doesn't love Curious George?
Each page has rhyming couplets that sets
As a bookseller and parent, I was always surprised by the lack of Look-and-Find books for kids who weren't quiet ready for the intensity of the Where's Waldo books. Which is why I was so excited when I discovered Marion Billet's Littleland last year! And now we have Littleland: Around the World to add to the growing list of Look-and-Find books for toddlers. Billet's illustrations are bright
Daniel Mizieliński and Aleksandra Mizielińska, creators of Welcome to the World of Mamoko and MAPS, two fantastic books from the fall 2013 inaugural line of books from the spectacular new imprint, Big Picture Press. Like Welcome to the World of Mamoko, The World of Mamoko in the Year 3000 is a look-and-find book that screams at readers, from the cover even, to USE YOUR EYES! And, like

New from Big Picture Press, The Odd One Out by Britta Teckentrup just might be their smallest book yet, in terms of trim size, but it is every bit as visually stunning and fantastically fun as every other book they have published since launching last year! With The Odd One Out, Teckentrup presents readers with yet another look-and-find book, but one that is markedly different from the
