PreS-Gr 2—Seymour, a little toy figurine featured in the "Can You See What I See?" series returns in this new photographic adventure. Along with Buttons, his little dog companion, he fearlessly launches himself into new adventures—10 in all—from climbing into towering bins of bric-a-brac to flying a spaceship, constructing a junkyard robot, and exploring a lavish tree house. Printed on sturdy cardstock for extra durability, each fantastic spread is meticulously constructed from a dizzying assortment of objects to create colorful, visually engaging scenes that make searching for the hidden objects challenging but not impossible. As the introductory author's note points out, "each scene…includes a fold-out segment" and a rhyme that prompts readers about the hidden objects to hunt for. Open and closed folds provide an additional puzzle in letting viewers compare the two and figure out the differences. Another author's note at the end provides some trivia about the photographs as well as a few "Bonus Puzzles."
VERDICT Another winsome hidden object book from Wick, a must for the young connoisseurs of the genre.
