BUYING ADVISORY: Pre K, EL (K-3) - ESSENTIAL
AUDIENCE APPEAL: HIGH
Bernard is a wolf - he's not scary, in fact, he's sad. Not only isn't he fierce or fast, unless he's wearing his glasses, he can't see very well. Good thing he has friends - Michael the squirrel in the forest and a little crab in the ocean. His friends help him sharpen his eyes (and his mind) by pointing out things in the
pictures to look for, repeated patterns, differences, things going on, find all the pairs, which animals are angry - can you spot the 3 animals who left these tracks - and can you match the tracks to the animals, which objects don't belong and many many more. The reader needs sharp eyes and a keen mind to find all the things.
Not your average hidden picture books. Agnese Baruzzi's illustrations are great - some pages are busier than others, each illustration has 3 questions to search for the answer to, as well as an additional task provided by Bernards friends. I got lost playing in the pages of both books. Not as difficult as "Where's Waldo" a pre-schooler would be able to find the right pictures, but it's a challenge to find them all.
