Reading List: Seek-and-Find Picture Books

Older kids love seek-and-find books. The original I-Spy series by Jean Marzollo and Walter Wick are becoming harder to find (and out of print), so here are some other books that have seek-and-find games. Some are straight forward and tell you what to find on every page. And some of the books might need a little more input from the caregiver (notice what you see on every page and give your kid objects and animals to find). This is a great different way to re-read books again and again, experiencing them a little differently than just reading the words off the pages.
