Search and Find: Animals by Libby Walden & illustrated by Fermín Solís

ISBN13: 9781626867710
Hardcove - Ages 3 - 7
Silver Dolphin Books
My thoughts: Children absolutely love search and find books. No matter the subject matter, they become engrossed in finding the most minute detail in books of this type.

In Search and Find Animals by Libby Walden the fold out pages make this very durable book even more fun and the amount of interesting critters to find is fantastic. Going from the barnyard to the tropical forest, the young reader will be engaged in this unique opportunity to find the animals. As the books is opened, you see that on the left is a flap and the instructions direct the child to search for what is hidden under the flap. This continues with cold climate animals (penguins, etc.), jungles, the sea, the African savannah, and the forest.

And there is more than just the specific animals for which the reader is to search. There are more animals and objects that can capture the child's attention and become a focused learning point.

The colorful illustrations are cute and whimsical and easy for the child to identify. This can be a fun, entertaining, and educational exploration into the animal world.

I highly recommend for the home with young children.


About the book: Can you find a pair of birds playing badminton, a gibbon with a ribbon, and a starfish shining in the spotlight? In Search and Find: Animals, young children are prompted to search six busy foldout scenes to find theHa illustrations highlighted on the large flaps. Each colorful spread features 20 things to find, plus additional amusing animals on a farm, in the Arctic, under a jungle canopy, beneath the waves, across the savannah, and in the nighttime woods. As readers explore the pages and find the animals, they will encounter other creatures scampering about—so parents can help children identify and learn the names of even more animals.

  2. I love to work with the Search and Find books with the girls. They play with them so much that they know exactly where everything is. They love beating me at finding things first. We don't have a favorite book out of all the ones we have.

  4. I would look at a search and find book when the illustrations were as good as the ones in this book--just to enjoy the talent and aesthetics!

    I don't think I have a favorite in the search and find field.

  11. To teach a child how to use a search and find book, I'd look at the photo first and make a list of the most obvious found objects. Then I'd look at the illustration with the child and guide them to find the first object.

  13. I would use a search and find book with the kids by taking turns asking if the other person can find the item/thing they have spotted.

    I don't have a favorite "search and find" book but the kids love animals so they would love this one.
