Praise for the I Spy series: "The apparent simplicity behind the 'I Spy' concept is deceptive. Each book contains about a dozen two-page spreads in which Mr. Wick has arranged and photographed a dizzying array of tiny, themed objects, with each tableaux creating its own spell-binding world. His collaborator, Jean Marzollo, writes rhymed picture riddles that run across the bottom of each page, naming hidden objects readers must find within." -- The New York Times Praise for I Spy Fun House : "It's hard to believe that Marzollo and Wick could top their I Spy Christmas , but their latest book of picture riddles is their best yet. Once again, each spread consists of a spectacular color photograph of an even more spectacularly propped 4 x 8 set, paired with four lines of verse that challenge the reader. Wick's dramatic lighting, his diverse use of shadows and his varied backgrounds set new standards for children's photography books, while Marzollo's seemingly straightforward rhymes are marked by wit and subtlety. The fun-house theme is exploited to grand effect in the scenery choices.

Musical instruments and symbols, clown puppets and toys proliferate; and sets incorporating fun-house mirrors, magician's props, dressing room paraphernalia, bandstands and so forth not only create atmosphere but add to the complexity of each puzzle. Bonus for readers beyond the suggested age range: the extra-credit riddles at the end are devilish indeed." -- Publishers Weekly Praise for I Spy Christmas : Parents Magazine Best Book "Features gorgeously styled, full-spread color photos of many objects." -- Publishers Weekly , starred review Praise for I Spy Spooky Night : "A must, in multiple copies, for any Halloween collection." -- School Library Journal , starred review "Spectacularly eerie pictures chock full of hidden objects." -- Booklist Praise for I Spy Mystery : Publishers Weekly Best Book of the Year National Parenting Publication Award Honorable Mention.
