(2) K-3 In this innovatively constructed search-and-find game, Munro uses flaps within flaps to depict the interiors of a fire station, a passenger train, a barn, and eight other locales. The rhyming text is banal, but it gets the job done, presenting lists of objects readers must hunt for in each double-page spread. The detailed ink and watercolor illustrations are just intricate enough to make the search challenging.
