Book Reviews of I Spy Gold Challenger: A Book of Picture Riddles
Book Review: I Spy Gold Challenger
Summary: 5 Stars
ISBN 0590042963 - Printed in Singapore (boo hiss to New York-based publisher Scholastic for that one). The I Spy series of books always leaves me with one single, little itty-bitty, regret: why didn't these exist when I was a kid?!
Each two-page spread features a photograph so full of the details that make them perfect for a search and find game. Among the photos are a jumble of toys, an action-packed sand castle, a clown act on stage, a futuristic sci-fi world and so much more, all created in the most superb, imaginative way. This book features previously-seen favorite photos with new riddles.
The text, by Jean Marzollo, is hardly worth rating, because it's simply a list of things to look for in the pictures, although it does at least deserve props for rhyming. It is, as always, the creation of the sets and the photography of Walter Wick that stands out, here. Once you've found everything, including the Extra Credit Riddles on the last two pages, you can go right back and start over, making up your own game - there's that much to see! One of the things I absolutely love about this book is that the answers are not here. There is no cheating by flipping to the back. Can't find what you're looking for? Keep looking, or ask for help, because it'll drive you crazy not to know.

Summary of I Spy Gold Challenger: A Book of Picture Riddles
With 24 million copies sold, the bestselling I Spy series is being relaunched with new designs and foil covers.
This bestselling book features a collection of favorite I Spy riddles that send readers searching 12 photographs for hidden objects.
This bestselling book features a collection of favorite I Spy riddles that send readers searching 12 photographs for hidden objects.
"I spy a heart, a starfish, a frog, / A towel, a trowel, a taxi, a dog; / Seven horses, a barrel, a duck that is teeny, / Two real feathers, and a surfer's bikini." Now, all you have to do is find these objects in Walter Wick's masterful, crystal-clear, boldly colorful photographic landscapes. I Spy Gold Challenger! collects author Jean Marzollo and Wick's 12 favorite photographs from previous I Spy books, and invents a new series of ways to make children scratch their heads. A fantasy castle with a sand dragon and a medieval battle in progress; a complex city intersection made from wooden blocks and assorted toys; an attic stuffed with junk--each page seems more complex than the last. The seeming simplicity of the task at hand, and the surprising difficulty in finding all the items mentioned in the accompanying rhymes, remains a winning combination. (Click to see a sample spread.
