Biggest Book of Search & Find (Children's Activity Book)

My 4 year old daughter loves to "find" things in books and we stumbled across this book in my search for more options. The illustrations are wonderfully creative and colorful. The book is really thick (over 1.5 inches) and is pretty heavy for a 4 year old. It contains "mini" books where you can find one specific character (dog, cat, alien, girl, boy, dinosaur, detective, witch, bunny, panda, etc). Then along the left hand side of a page, is a listing for at least 30 other things to search for. Since my daughters (2 & 4) aren't at the reading stage, we just have them search for the character whose picture is listed at the top left corner. Then I will randomly scan the page and ask them to help me find "x". We have owned this book for a few months now and it is a bedtime favorite, mandatory for long car rides, and even took a trip to Mexico for the plane ride :) The only negative piece is that the book is very thick and heavy- so holding it open to read is a strain on your hands to keep it propped all the way to view the images towards the spine.

I originally bought this book for my youngest kiddo, who is 6 and especially adept at search & find books, but my oldest (10) has also had a lot of fun with this book. We travel quite often, so finding things to keep my easily-bored, active kids quietly occupied (as I don't like them zoning out too long on mind-numbing gadgets and electronics kids are so fond of these days) is highly valued. :) It is also something simple and fun that I can sit down and interact with them, too. This is a rare item that both my kids share nicely and enjoy together, and you get a lot of bang for your buck, as there are tons more pages in it than your run-of-the-mill search and find books. I definitely would recommend it for all families.

Great fun

These books are AWESOME! Wish there were a larger selection. My grandchildren ages 5-10 love them. (I like them, too) We spend lots of time together trying to be the first to find the pictures. Great for car or plane travel or anywhere they need to sit quietly. I highly recommend!

I really love this book. My daughter is four, and it is perfect for her. We tried many other seek and find books, but the ones which showed the actual picture to find, she ended up finding them super quickly and memorizing the books within the second round of the seeking. This one shows a picture of one character on the top corner of each page, and while my daughter usually finds then quickly, some have challenged her. I really love that it has a large list of different things to find. The list has seriously helped her listening skills, and she also learns about new things that she never knew about, which expands her vocabulary. It is also tricky enough for her to where my daughter has also learned directions through the clues that I give her (left, right, over, under, around, etc). I would rate this book five stars, but the binding is wanting to come off. Perhaps it is because we use it every night. I suppose I just wish the outside of the book were stronger. Ours is literally held together by the strings holding the pages together. Really fantastic content though.

Just buy this. If you're thinking your kid, a kid you know, any kid might like this.... They will. My son saw someone with a book like this and wanted his own. I find this all over the house because he's constantly seeking and finding. I initially thought the price was steep for a seek and find book, but it's worth every penny.

Love these books. They can be frustrating, but they keep me relatively sane during this Covid season.

The Biggest Book and The Big Book of Search and Find have many of the same puzzles but different lists of things to find. They are both GREAT! (just don't buy them for the same person). Both are pretty darn thick also...you will spend months enjoying these books!

book has a very strong smell to it, we will be returning it. the pages are full of colorful pictures but the kids don't like the smell after a few minutes
