This book contains 23 pages of great picture puzzles, and items to find and solve. The books in this series are a family favorite. My children love looking through the pictures and finding the items in question, or solving the puzzles. Wick, the co-creator of the I Spy books, has a knack for visual narrative. In this book, he retells the tale of In A Dark Dark Wood, across 12 picture narratives with one picture zoomed into 8 times its original size for details. He begins with a castle on a hill and proceeds until we are through the castle and in a potion bottle. The dark imagery is fun to explore with children and is a book they will go back to again and again. The progression in this story is:
On A Scary Scary Night
Beneath A Scary Scary Moon
In A Scary Scary Town
On A Scary Scary Street
Atop a Scary Scary Hill
In A Scary Scary Castle
Up Scary Scary Stairs
In A Scary Scary Tower
In A Scary Scary Cupborard
On A Scary Scary Shelf
In A Scary Scary Bottle
There Was A Ghost!
This book is full of amazing illustrations and story, tying them together, sure to entertain the young and young at heart.
