Every day objects are cleverly worked into these scenes. Where there aren’t a certain number of things you’re supposed to find on this page, this can be a good one for kids that get frustrated when they can’t find what they are looking for

Undeniably creative. Judging by the (unworn) condition of the library copy I read, though, I'm not the only reader who just doesn't get it. It is hallucinatory & surreal - I dunno, maybe it helps to be on something, or to be able to achieve an altered state of mind through exhaustion or meditation or inner fire of creativity? (

I don't have the patience for this right now, but I'm sure that when I was a child I would have. I did enjoy spending a bit of time on every picture. (

Photographs of objects put together to look like various kinds of scenes. Notes at the back give more information. (

An incredible book to pore over. This book can entertain a child for hours. The superior creations are made out of an enormous collection of items listed in the back of the book. The look-alikes are amazing, even for adults. Great art connection, especially before doing 3-D art projects/pieces. (
