Product Description
From School Library Journal
Kindergarten-Grade 3–The creator of Can You See What I See? Picture Puzzles to Search and Solve (2002) and Can You See What I See? Dream Machine (2003, both Scholastic) is back with another photographic adventure. This time, the focus is on collections, and the 12 picture puzzles feature intriguing assortments of buttons, plastic dinosaurs, nature's autumn contributions, stuffed animals, wooden blocks, and the contents of a junk drawer. The same beaded toy figure from the other titles is also concealed in each scene. As a wordsmith, Wick offers pleasing rhymes that clearly direct readers to retrieve a requisite number of objects. Once again, his photography engages, even mesmerizes viewers, though these scenarios appear a tad less complex and less tricky to solve than those found in the former volumes. The theme of collections is bound to be popular and has a classroom application for lessons dealing with sifting and sorting. An author's note unveils some of the book's mysteries and may encourage readers to create their own games and mazes with everyday items.–Gloria Koster, West School, New Canaan, CT

From Booklist
K-Gr. 2. Wick, cocreator of the popular I Spy books, adds to his solo Can You See What I See? seek-and-find series with a book featuring collections. Divided into categories like "Button Fancy," "Traffic Jam," "Washed Ashore," and "Chock-a-Block," Wick's photos invite children to get lost in dazzling arrays of baubles, toys, seashells, and bric-a-brac, all drawn from collections Wick has accumulated since starting his children's book career in 1991. Unlike Wick's inaugural Can You See What I See? title, which included rebus puzzles and camouflage tricks, this book's more straightforward premise consists of images accompanied by rhyming lists of objects to be found. Kids familiar with the more challenging first book may be disappointed by the simplicity of this one, but for those who still find satisfaction in old-fashioned picture puzzles, this volume offers them up in spades. Of special interest is the author's note, in which Wick credits flea markets, junk drawers, and hardware stores as sources of inspiration, along with good old Mother Nature. Terry Glover

Better than I Spy, Nov 30 2008

I went to OMSI - Oregon Museum of Science - to check out their brain teaser exhibit with kids and grandkids. After a few hours, the grandson,4, and I sat down at a table with books and looked through this one. We just loved that book. He was able to find enough of what we were supposed to see without getting frustrated and turned pages to find more things. Drats, what an oversight that the OMSI gift store buyer hadn't stocked it because I would have bought it immediately. But I found it here for a lot less I'm sure. The I Spy series - as I recall - can be pretty overwhelming for younger kids and me...this book is actually fun for kids and adults as well. Can You See What I See was a wonderful happy experience with that little guy so I'm going to buy them all for him... for hours and probably years of indoor fun.

The collections in this book are not as interesting as the other books in this series and the photos are very dark to the point where they are hard to see.Get one of the other books in the series instead of this one, many of the other Can You See What I See and I Spy books are worth 5 stars.
