I Spy Treasure Hunt: A Book of Picture Riddles

This book was a great purchase for children age 4-12. Great pictures and really challenges the child to use their thinking skills. Very similar to the PC game of the same title..Highly recommended for any child.

Welcome to Smuggler's Cove! Here you will have to solve a bunch of riddles in order to find a hidden treasure.

This book has realistic pictures to make it really look like you are in Smuggler's Cove. Please note that some of the objects blend in. For example, if you are looking for a thumbtack, the thumbtack is made to look like a satellite dish. Another oddity is that the duck pond is not only where ducks swim, but a pond that actually looks like a duck! There are also various destinations to look in, like the Treasure Chest store, the old barn, and Shipwreck Shore.

Overall, 4 Stars. This book is a good book for treasure hunters. However, if you really want a treat, check out the I Spy Treasure Hunt computer game. It has a lot of cool new riddles, new destinations to explore, and best of all, 3 hidden treasures!

I picked this book out because of the beautiful photography and the clever way objects were inserted into miniature settings. The 12 pictures in I SPY TREASURE HUNT are beautiful and fascinating to pore over. Sometimes the photographs are a bit blurry or hazy, though, which made me wonder if I was missing something. I wasn't always sure what I was looking for. Or you only see a tiny part of the thing you're supposed to find. And the extra credit riddles need to be on a foldout page so you can refer to them without flipping back and forth. Still, it's a beautiful, clever book and a lot of fun.

My family has enjoyed I Spy Picture Riddles for many years. I Spy Treasure Hunt is my personal favorite. The reader is invited to search for hidden items on pages that represent an imaginary seaside town. The first puzzle page features the train station, while the next two page spread is the "View from Duck Pond Inn". Eventually, the Pirate's treasure is revealed! I enjoy the less flashy and cluttered look of this particular book, though my kids seem to highly enjoy all the I Spy books. I recommend them for all ages!

This book is great! Perfect! My friends and I are making a town somewhat similar to this with mountains with pretend greens and trees and a little village. It's a train set. This book is almost exactly alike to that. Especially on pages 8-9. It features a train. I would reccomend this to anyone who like greeny,beautiful areas that are tiny and look real. I especially like the mountain with the fort. It reminds me of "The Rainbow Express" in I Spy Fantasy. This beautifully crafted book could be nominated for best book of the year!

I think the I Spy Series is Wonderful and Treasure Hunt has great pictures. My only negative is that the age range listed in the store is wrong, and even the 4-8 age range usually listed for this book should be a little higher, like 6-8. I have to admit that I have a hard time finding the pictures, so my 4 year old gets frustrated with this one.

I think the Picture Riddles is a great one for 4 year olds to start with.
