Marzollo, Jean

I Spy Year-Round Challenger!: A Book of Picture Riddles

40 pp. | Scholastic/Cartwheel | November, 2001 | Trade ISBN 0-439-31634-0 $$13.95

(4) K-3 Photographs by Walter Wick. Using collages from previous I Spy books, picture puzzles for each month of the year are presented, while the clunky rhyming verse asks viewers to find specific objects in each visually engaging photograph. "Extra credit riddles" at the end provide a different kind of challenge as readers must pore over all pages to locate the items. Marzollo gives instructions to children who want to create their own visual riddles.
