From Publishers Weekly
Fans of the elegantly energetic I Spy picture-puzzle series may wonder how Wick could top the lavish sets he created for I Spy Funhouse and I Spy Mystery. Here, however, he and Marzollo surpass their previous achievements-by reversing direction. While they stick to the same formula (under a full-bleed photo of artistically arrayed objects, verse challenges the reader to find various objects), this time they eschew special effects and razzle-dazzle compositions in favor of sunny spreads showcasing, for the most part, common items. Most sets are basic, from a classroom blackboard to a playground floor to a homemade puppet theater. But each apparently simple spread wordlessly and playfully reinforces learning skills. In a spread featuring plastic numerals from one to 12, for example, each number is surrounded by related objects; a building block emblazoned with "X" and a toy clown wagging the splayed fingers on his hands are among the items illustrating the number 10. The puppet theater is hung with cardboard cutouts of figures and props from classic fairy tales. Other sets teach such concepts as sets and patterns, cleverly integrating items seen on previous spreads. By stressing the value of everyday objects, this ingenious volume will encourage readers to look closely at not just the pictures, but at their own surroundings. Ages 3-8.

From School Library Journal
Kindergarten-Grade 3?This riddle book in verse follows the now-familiar format of large, oversized pages chock-full of objects and realia. This time, the double-page spreads are devoted to unifying activities or themes associated with school?chalkboard, a puppet show, art or science classrooms, a playground, etc. The full-color photographs are sharp, bright, and busy. Some of the items that youngsters are asked to locate are quite small, and the rabbit on the chalkboard has been almost erased and is very faint. Still, this will be a fun addition for children who appreciate riddles and for those who enjoy poring over pictures.?Susan Chmurynsky, East Kentwood Freshman Campus, MI

From Booklist
Ages 4^-7. In the sixth book in the I Spy series, colorful, eye-catching compositions are once again the high note. Jointly designed by Marzollo and Wick, the sets for the illustrations are wonderfully imaginative, and Wick's photographs are brilliant and sharp. Valentines, building blocks, puppet theaters, and a wealth of theme-related doodads are combined to make school look very appealing. This is essentially an interactive lap book that lends itself to constructive conversation as adults and children read the clue-filled rhymes and look for objects on the delightfully crowded pages. The book even includes some "extra credit" riddles. A visually stunning book, this is a good choice for a day-care library, the easy nonfiction shelf, or a concept book collection. Janice Del Negro
