Synopsis

A new take on the I-spy game with die-cut holes so little ones can spy the various creatures through the page. Dramatic, bold illustrations focus on a single colour for each page, as the reader guesses which animals are blue, grey, white, yellow, orange, red and green. Each page also includes a helpful factual clue about the animal. This is a beautiful gift book that will encourage young readers to interact while teaching them something about the animals too.

About this title

Review

A classic childhood guessing game gets an elegant treatment from newcomer Gibbs in this introduction to colors and animals... Defined by joyful scribbled outlines, the exuberant, friendly animal portraits dazzle.
--Publishers Weekly (starred review)

These wonderful, inky loops and tangles add wild-haired authenticity to the watercolor animals, which appear against flat habitat scenes. The spy hole steals the show, however, creating an active reading experience right up until the final page.
--Kirkus Reviews (starred review)

This creative book would work equally well in storytimes or one-on-one.
