I've been using this book to challenge my library students. They--as most children--need to practice using their brains to think not just spit out memorization. From my youngest to my oldest--5th graders--we have pondered and giggled our way through the book one riddle at a time.

Spot the Plot was a very fun read and the kids loved it! It has beautiful illustrations and cute whimsy rhymes describing much loved children's books and you have to guess what the book is! I wished it would have had more rhymes in it though! We were having such fun guessing the books! Also for the books that you may not have enjoyed with your children yet, by reading the cute rhymes about them, it may display an interest for them to have you pick that book up on the next library visit!

I love this book. Not only does this book have clever riddles, but also cute illustrations. I enjoy sharing these with my students and having them try to guess what book is being described. For the older students I wait to show the pictures until they've had a few guesses because the illustrations really give some great clues. Several of the books highlighted have been made into movies so the younger students have a good chance at guessing most of the titles. Some of the books included are: The Wizard of Oz, Madeline, The Tale of Peter Rabbit, Cinderella, Rapunzel, Where's Waldo, Goodnight Moon, and Pinnochio. Interestingly, the one that students consistently don't know is The Story of Ferdinand. I remember loving that story when I was younger, but I guess fewer kids are exposed to it these days. Anyway, this book provides lots of book-related fun. My only complaint? I wish there were more riddles included. :)
