This is a terrific book for the preschooler and young school age child. They will enjoy hunting for the items in the pictures (For example, I spy six ducks.) and will enjoy viewing the fine art. The pictures selected are clear and engaging for children and my kindergarten students have enjoyed making their own "I Spy Two Eyes" books.

My two year old son and I enjoy reading this book together every night. He loves to look at the art and find different items. Two eyes, four fish, twelve squirrels and nineteen angels! It is a wonderful introduction to fine art and especially good for parents to read too! Such a nice change from traditional toddler level books.

We bought the paperback edition.

My child loves this book, and has since she just turned two. Things we love about this book:

-The pictures are full of new and unknown things to talk about.
-The numbers are large and clear, written out and in numerals.
-The items can be counted, and other things can be counted.
-A parent has to read it with her, because otherwise who would say, "I spy..." And of course she loves that!
-The different art pieces are in different styles, and it's just so stimulating to look at them.

She has always enjoyed looking at books while on her potty, and this is one of her favorites. It's extremely versatile. I'd recommend it to anyone (as well as the "I Spy" alphabet book). The concept is just great.

Plus, when she is old enough for adult museums, I will be able to connect the pieces of art with what she's already seen. "This is Kandinsky- your book also has Kandinsky circles in it, remember?" I'm really happy about that.

My 21 month old loves this book. I have read it to him at least 4 times a day since we received it. Intruduces baby to the world of art while also helping him to count. The repetativness of counting outloud helps to to already identify his numbers.

Wonderful book. Great art work and a neat way to help kids learn to count. Would love to see more along these lines.
