Hide-and-Seek Visual Adventures
Readers will adore these interactive journeys into history, nature, and technology. Learners are enticed into focusing on the granular details by searching for up to eight items per spread. Each book also has a smaller hidden object, which students must find by scouring the entire book. A picture-glossary runs across the bottom of each page, which explains different facets of the subject. Readers will be amused by a variety of interesting facts, including how ancient Romans bathed, how the poison dart frog was given its name, and how carpenters make door frames.

Series Review: Hide-and-Seek Visual Adventures"Rich colors and finely detailed illustrations show daily life or work in buildings of the past (History), natural environments (Nature), and large machinery (Technology). Cutaway walls reveal inner activity in illustrations that are reminiscent of Richard Scarry's work. The large images are accompanied by clear, concise descriptions of their elements. The younger children in the grade range will enjoy finding items that are hidden within the pictures, while others will appreciate the concise tidbits of information about animals, military life, and machines. Enjoyable for browsing."
