Look-Alike Book

2008-02-28
My Grandson had checked out a couple of the Look-Alike books from the Library. He really liked them, so I decided to get him one for his 5TH birthday. He really enjoys finding the look alike objects in the pictures, and spends a long time for a five year old doing so.

My kids love these books

My twin 5 yr old boys love these books. It has become a night time ritual with them. There are so many cool things to spot. I would recommend this book for anyone looking for something to do during quiet time.

Fantastic

My 3yo son and 37yo husband both love this book (as do I). We can easily spend half an hour or more every evening playing a modified I-spy game - and it's no easy feat keeping a 3 yo entertained that long. I would highly recommend it for travel, except that it's a large size book which makes it a bit unweildy to carry.

Great "idea" book, or just fun to view

This is a another book filled with fascinating ways the author puts together pictures using common everyday items. You'll never look at ordinary items the same way again once you see how she creatively puts together her pictures. Children and adults alike will be fascinated by this book. If you want to give a child a book he or she will look at over and over again, this is a good choice.

Cool Books!!Kids love them

My kids love these books. My son checked one out at the school library. My husband and I were amazed at the detail these pictures have. It puts I spy to shame. My kids look at these books all the time. Great for the car, or restaurants, they keep my seven and four year old happy, and I also enjoy looking at all of the cool pictures. They use everyday items and combine them into ordinary things. For example a chair might be made up of pretzel sticks for the legs, a ritz cracker for the seat, and something else for the back. There are hundreds on each page! Amazing!

Just imagine!

Welcome to Look-Alike Land, where the more you look, the more you see! Artist Joan Steiner has used everything from acorns and broccoli to yardsticks and zippers to create this striking three-dimensional world. Stop in at the Sweet Shop and sit down on a chair built of pretzels and crackers or stroll through the park, where pennies are cobblestones and a shoehorn becomes a slide. With more than 1,000 look-alikes to find, this book is sure to have puzzlers of all ages poring over its pages for hours on end. This best-selling book is back with a brand new series design and a striking new cover.

kids & parents loved it

We gave this to my nephew for his 8th birthday. He and 3 other kids ages 2 to 4 were mesmerized, even during the party, and grownups were fascinated. I can only speculate as to the kind of stuff that goes through this author's mind! The patience and attention to detail that went into these elaborate scenes are very impressive.

A book you'll NEVER tire of.........No Kidding.

My family has had this book for 6 years(original version) and we still LOVE it.Our sons (now ages 10 and 8) call it the wacky book.We play a game with it where one person spots something on a page and everyone else tries to figure out where it is(easier said than done).After all this time we're still coming up with new(and minute)things to see and share.Now our 2 year old is getting in on the game (much more fun than the I Spy Books)and is having a great time righ along with us.
I so highly recommend this book for anyone looking for a fun time.As for the Christmas version of the book(read my review of it)it's not nearly as interesting or amusing.

Love this book!

Everytime I look at the pictures in this book I see something I didn't see before. This is a book that you will enjoy as much as your kids enjoy. The creativity and imagination in these books are inspiring and motivational. Now when I look at a thimble, a button, a matchstick, or any other everyday object around my house, I don't just see the object, I see many other possibilities. Thank you Joan Steiner for making 4 generations in our family laugh and smile!

A clever book!

This was a clever book! I memorized many of the look-alikes in this book and pretend Boston is Look-Alike City.
