If you have younger kids (pre-reading), please note that unlike the Highlights magazine section, this book doesn't show pictures of the hidden items to find, only written descriptions. This means that if your kids cannot read yet, they cannot play on their own. I was disappointed because they love to do the section in the Highlights magazine and I had assumed that this book would be the same.

My 4 year old loves the Highlights magazine especially the Hidden Pictures but this book does not have the pictures of the objects to look for. One must be able to read to enjoy this book.

Great mix from easy to difficult. This book was bought for my 7 year old son to pass the time in the hospital waiting room. Not only did it keep him occupied for hours on end, his aunts and uncles were equally absorbed in it. We've only completed about 50% of the book (we've had it since February) and it goes almost everywhere with us. I recommend using a yellow hi-lighter to mark found items and mark them off the list, so that you can see the item and reuse the page at a later time. Probably the best money I've spent in a long time. It would have been nice for the answer key pictures to be bigger, say 1/4th of a page, instead of cramming 7 answer key pictures on a single page. Nevertheless a 5 star buy!

I'm a new teacher and found this book a great sponge filler. The kids love hunting for things they never heard of and talk about them getting involved in the book. They interact & help each other to get through the pages. This book is a must for any classroom or any home.

I just had to write in after reading the reviews of people complaining that the pages are black and white. Apparently they are not really thinking of the added benefit and extra fun this gives to the book. It can be a COLORING BOOK also! That's how I use it. It adds extra fun to the seek and find by the excitement of coloring in the item once you find it and then coloring in the rest of the picture once you have found all the items. It is better than a plain ole' coloring book because there is the added intellectual element of the seek and find. I'm glad it is in black and white and would choose the black and white over similar colored books everytime.

If you or your child have ever recieved a highlights magazine and done the hidden pictures portion, then you know exactly what you are getting. Rather than buying the magazine just for that part, this book provides you with a tremendous collection of hidden picture puzzles they have published throughout the years. This is an educational as well as bonding activity for children and parents.

I've ordered several of these for my Grandkids. They love them. I'm glad Highlights for Children makes them in books form.

I realize the pictures come from Highlights but the they're all in black and white and did not keep the interest of my daughter for very long at all.
