Sign in to write a reviewThis book can be read cold. Parents might want to familiarize themselves with the visual key in the back to assist if a child gets stuck on a particularly tricky find. A parent might choose this after hearing their child express frustration that counting to 100 is 'too hard' or witnessing a child who needs a calming, grounding activity to help them regulate focus.
A 4-year-old will enjoy finding the first 10 items and simply looking at the pictures. An 8-year-old will take on the 'hard mode' challenge of accurately counting the higher-level groups and finding every single hidden element.
Unlike standard 'I Spy' books which can feel cluttered, Sloat’s work uses a cohesive artistic style that blends counting with natural world themes, making it feel like an art gallery experience as much as a math exercise.
