Inspired by the artistic imaginings of children, Walter Wick has made a career of setting up and photographing elaborate miniature sets crammed with gazillions of gewgaws--yo-yos, buttons, plastic sheep, hot dog buns, playing cards, spoons, funnels, domino tiles, teapot spouts--in the I Spy series (with Jean Marzollo) and his bestselling ICan You See What I See? Picture Puzzles to Search and Solve/I. IDream Machine/I continues this tradition with a space-age twist. The first two-page spread, "Bedtime," is a grownup-eyed view of a childs darkened bedroom, with the accompanying text: "Can you see/ what I see?/ Five cards, a bike,/ three soccer balls,/ a spotted owl,/ striped overalls,/ an elephant,/ a dog asleep,/ a dinosaur tail,/ seven white sheep,/ a yo-yo, a boat,/ a can, a jar,/ a lightning bolt/ on a little red car!" In subsequent spreads the camera lens zooms in to focus on the tiny worlds within worlds under the child's chair. Clutter gives way to order as the reader is asked to join Wick in his nighttime dreamscape. The possibilities are endless for sharp-eyed children who choose to go beyond the "search and solve" puzzles. Hours of fun await! (Ages 4 to 8) I--Emilie Coulter/I

 Another Amazing Book by Wick July 21, 2008
We purchased this book for my son's third birthday. It is amazing how much time he would like to spend with this book. Some of the objects are easier to find than others, so he has enough success to be willing to look for the more difficult objects. He has loved all the I SPY books, and this is no exception. The pictures are fascinating, and there are always new things to discover, whether or not you are searching for the listed items. My five year old also loves this book! Our family highly recommends this series of books!

I disagree with the reviewer who suggests that the pictures in this book are too dark, and that this title in the Can You See What I See ? series is not good for the 2-6 age group. My five-year-old son is absolutely enthralled with the amazingly creative, futuristic cityscapes. I think this is Walter Wick's best creation to date. Just look at the intricate details that he has put into the buildings, all of which were made by hand from cardboard boxes and other easy-to-find materials. Wick's books are not just about finding hidden objects. They are also about learning how to appreciate the value of everyday stuff -- like the things we all throw away or have stashed away in our junk drawers and never think about. In this, and all of his books for that matter, Wick inspires the imagination in countless ways, as all good authors of children's books should. In addition to searching for the lost items in these magical pages, my son has spent countless hours trying to create his own cityscapes out of cereal boxes, soap boxes, and every other kind of box one would care to imagine. THIS BOOK IS EXTRAORDINARY!

Although we love the I Spy books, this one seems to have darker background pictures. The book doesn't seem interesting for the ages 2-6. The kids have trouble finding things in the dark backgrounds and loose interet in the book fast.
