Book Reviews of Can You See What I See? Dream Machine
Book Review: great for all...2 Yr olds, parents, and those vehicle obsessed
Summary: 5 Stars
I fully agree with the previous 5star reviews. To add to it I want to say that my son is not yet 2 1/2, and he's of average intelligence, and he can spend a TON of time staring at this book. we read it together before naps and he can easily spend 20 minutes concentrating on the pages. And then he will also choose to read the book on his own, quietly studying all the details. I find that amazing. There are so many levels to this book, as mentioned by others, and so It's also very fun for me to look at while we are reading it together (unlike some toddler books). I also get great ideas for projects for us to do together as you will understand if you get this book. Also, you can do more than just what the book asks for, go ahead and ask the toddler to find an easier or more exciting object along with a few off the list. We don't find the whole list on each page, we slowly do 1-2 (plus some added ones) until he chooses to turn the page...I think otherwise it might bore a child as young as him. And lastly, I want to mention that what initially captivated him was all of the vehicles. My son loves vehicles, and there are many on most pages, with quite a few "city" scenes. Good to know if you have a vehicle obsesses child. Love It!
Summary of Can You See What I See? Dream Machine
Cool robots, far-out cityscapes, and lots of search-and-find surprises--now with a new foil cover!
This search-and-find adventure is full of fun and surprises. The story begins in a child's bedroom where Seymour, a tiny bead man, uses a yo-yo string to slide down from the top of a night table to the floor, where he finds himself a smart sports car. Seymour takes off beyond the blocks and into a magical world of flying cars, robots, and a time machine!
Children are invited to find hidden objects in the twelve photographs that tell the story of Seymour's magical nighttime exploration.

Children are invited to find hidden objects in the twelve photographs that tell the story of Seymour's magical nighttime exploration.
Inspired by the artistic imaginings of children, Walter Wick has made a career of setting up and photographing elaborate miniature sets crammed with gazillions of gewgaws--yo-yos, buttons, plastic sheep, hot dog buns, playing cards, spoons, funnels, domino tiles, teapot spouts--in the I Spy series (with Jean Marzollo) and his bestselling Can You See What I See? Picture Puzzles to Search and Solve. Dream Machine continues this tradition with a space-age twist. The first two-page spread, "Bedtime," is a grownup-eyed view of a child?s darkened bedroom, with the accompanying text: "Can you see/ what I see?/ Five cards, a bike,/ three soccer balls,/ a spotted owl,/ striped overalls,/ an elephant,/ a dog asleep,/ a dinosaur tail,/ seven white sheep,/ a yo-yo, a boat,/ a can, a jar,/ a lightning bolt/ on a little red car!" In subsequent spreads the camera lens zooms in to focus on the tiny worlds within worlds under the child's chair. Clutter gives way to order as the reader is asked to join Wick in his nighttime dreamscape. The possibilities are endless for sharp-eyed children who choose to go beyond the "search and solve" puzzles. Hours of fun await! (Ages 4 to 8) --Emilie Coulter
