This book is wonderful for early readers or non readers. There is very little text on each page, just a title and lots of pictures. I bought this for my daughter because she likes fairies and search and find books keep my children busy for quite some time. The great thing about this book, though, is that it allows non-readers to work independently. The number is right next to the item they are to find, so they can easily figure out how many of the object they need to locate. I have been very impressed by how quickly my 3yo is catching on to number recognition when it comes to knowing how many little fairies are hiding on a page. I highly recommend this book.

She doesn't need to be able to read to know what things she's looking for, and the items aren't quite as well hidden as in the "I Spy" books, which makes this very appropriate for the younger crowd.

The illustrations are cute as well.

One thing that does stand out is that all the fairies are white. Well, no. Most of them are plainly caucasian, and some of them are maybe kinda tanned. They have all the range of natural hair colors and then some (but not, I note, the range of hair textures, though I appreciate that that could be harder to illustrate), and they have a wide range of wing and clothing colors and styles - it would have been trivial to draw some of them as non-white... or at least color some of them a different shade than peach.

My niece, I think, isn't old enough yet to realize that none of the fairies in this book look like her (even beyond the fact that she doesn't have wings, of course!), but... it would have been nice to see the effort made.

It's still a good book, I'm just disappointed because this oversight is very obvious and it would have been so easy to fix.

My three year old fell in love with this from the very beginning. This book features a number of colorful scenes of Fairyland: Fairy Feast, Enchanted waterfall, Moon dance, Fairy school, Magic Market, Secret garden, Fairy Palace, House faires, Rainbow fairies, Treetop fairies, Fairy treehouse, Fairyland workshop, and The Snow Queen's ball. There are many cute things to spot on each page. My three year old easily learns numbers that are placed beside each "thing to spot" and enjoys looking for it and counting the "things". Each time we read this book, she discovers something new. She learns numbers, colors and much more. This book never gets boring. So, if you are looking for a book that keeps your child interested for a while instead of collecting dust on your shelf, this is the one to get. I highly recommend this and any other book that is part of the series. This one is my daughter's favorite, though - yes, the bright pink has something to do with it.

This wasn't the kind of book I expected. You are searching for all these different things but i figured it would be a list of a bunch of different things on each page, kind of like the Eagle Eye books or Where's Waldo...not quite. You have to find about 30-50 different things on each page, but it like 5 of this and 12 of that. Most are extremely easily to find. I expected a little more of a challenge. My daughter loves the I Spy books and this just didn't do as well.

My 7 year old daughter LOVES the books in which you have to find things and absolutely LOVES fairies as well...I was searching for books about fairies and found this on amazon. She loves it, as do I!! The illustrations are beautiful and the hidden objects are just right in difficulty to find. It's a great great book and absolutely worth a few extra dollars!!

Every time my kids (7,5,2) open this book it is a family affair to find all of the hidden pictures. We love it and manage to forget where everything is so the next time we look at it the adventure starts all over again.

My almost four years old daughter loves I Spy type of books and this one is her favorite. We own almost all 1001 things to spot books and some of them are not all that easy. This one is just right, great illustrations, too.

My 4 children all use this book when we are in the car. We keep it in the pocket behind the front seat. We don't have a dvd in our car and this keeps them occupied. We love Usborne and all of the "Things to Spot" books!

Knowledge attainment is based on one's ability to recognize similarities and differences in life. This book is an excellent tool for gaining this ability. It also contributes to learning to count and recognizing quantity.

the order was quick and efficient and in the condition they said it was in.
