HEY THERE, EAGLE EYES!
Take a good look, because this prime package of picture puzzles contains cartloads of crazy clues, strange signs, and intriguing settings. It's up to you to find the objects that are right there, hidden in plain view. Every tricky and colorful puzzle is a challenge. And just when you think you've worked it all out...surprise! When you go to the answer section to see if you're right, you'll confront still more mysteries to solve. Will the swashbuckling musketeer plunge into the snake pit? Which Santa is the real one? What made the time machine create such a mix-up? Where's the buried box with the ancient tablet? Each page will force even the sharpest eagle eye into high gear.

Editorial Reviews

From School Library Journal

Grade 3-5--These lively look-and-find puzzles are a delight. Each spread has a short "whodunit" or "where is it" story, a picture of the scene that has been set, and a question. Answers are provided at the back, along with additional mysteries that can also be solved by looking at the pictures. The vignettes vary widely and the settings include the jungle, outer space, the wilderness, and a sunken ship. The brightly colored pen-and-ink cartoons are packed with numerous details, making the search for particular items challenging but fun. A good choice for readers who are beyond Martin Handford's "Where's Waldo" series (Candlewick).--Cynde Suite, Bartow County Library System, Adairsville, GA

5.0 out of 5 stars My daughter can't put it down, June 21, 2006

My 5-year-old daughter discovered this book (that I had gotten out of the local library for my 9-year-old son) in her brother's room and immediately took it over. We spent an hour and a half reading it, nearly cover-to-cover as soon as she opened it! She can't yet read, but loved looking at the pictures, listening to the clues, and trying to 'solve the mysteries'. My 9-year-old son enjoyed the book, as well, but was too tempted to figure things out for himself at times, sneaking peek at the 'answers' in the back of the book. The additional clues and 'bonus' mysteries in the answers in the back were an extra, surprise bonus!

5.0 out of 5 stars Great Book to encourage some thinking, January 7, 2012

As a kid I had the "For Eagle Eyes Only" book but it was lost somewhere along the way. I believe this book is a combination of the 2 Eagle Eyes books. That said it is a GREAT book and I highly recommend it for young kids.

Only wish the "find the additional" items list was in it. There is a key on every page and a spider I believe. The older book had this list.

We picked this up at the library among a bunch of other books and our five year old daughter loves it. She wants to read it again and again, and the bonus set of questions at the end is really great. Very interesting and funny visual pictures, with lots of little things that make our daughter laugh.
