Since this book was published in 2001, you might think that you are getting new pictures. Our family loves these pictures, but all of the photos can be found in other volumes.
If you don't have any other books in the series, this is a wonderful copy, but if you have all of the others it is a waste of money.

I SPY YEAR ROUND CHALLENGER is filled with 12 pictures -- one for each month. Every puzzle is very different from the others. These clever photographs have beautiful colors but they're sometimes blurry or dark and hazy, and it's hard to see what's what. I wasn't always sure what I was looking for. I even believe there's a typo, making you look for one thing when it should be something else. In a couple of cases you can see only a tiny part of the thing you're supposed to find. And the extra credit riddles need to be on a foldout page so you can refer to them without flipping back and forth. Still, it's a beautiful, clever book and a lot of fun.

This says it is for kids from age 4 but I don't think that is quite right. The pictures are blurry and the items are not easy to find. They are quite challenging puzzles and I think the over 9 age group would be more likely to enjoy them.

The I spy books are the most used books in my house. I run a day care and have lots of kids of all ages. From the 3 yr old to the 10 yr old they will all sit around together looking at these books and talking about them. The little ones ask the older ones what the words say. I highly recommend collecting this series of books for your home library.

My 9 y.o. daughter just can not get enough of these books. She was so excited to receive this for Christmas I thought she might burst. This was a definite success in gift giving history.

Even though you are looking for different items. I was disappointed that it wasn't something completely new!

kids of all ages will appreciate this book. It continues to expand on a successful series and is a great mind exercise for children as well as adults. I caught myself looking at some of the puzzles from time to time.

Worried my son would get tired of these books but he can't get enough of them, unless he has all of them. He will study them even after he knows where all the hidden items are located. Educational.

Fast Service. My 6 year old son loves all of the I Spy Books.

I Spy is one of the Best ways to spend time with your child and you both will have a great time!!! Some puzzles are alittle hard but that is all part of the FUN!!! My daughter and I love our,"Our Time" with I Spy.We each pick an item to find and then search.If one of us can't find the item, we search for it together!!! This is a great book to send with your child to the Grandparents house.
