The twelve images here are snippets of pages from the popular I Spy Christmas (1992). The photos are clean, crisp close-ups and present objects that reflect the season, such as decorated cookies, a train set, and an old-fashioned doll. Some children may even recognize toys they have such as a teddy bear, a sock monkey, or a dump truck. The rhymed text asks readers to look for a few items on each page. Appropriate for the board book format and the intended audience, the objects are easy to find or provide just the right challenge for preschoolers. The last two pages suggest other items to search for, and they encourage the adult reader to point out other objects. Parents and preschoolers will enjoy playing hide-and-seek together with this little stocking stuffer.
