I was just given the opportunity to receive a copy of David Miles’ Slide-N-Seek: Ocean books in exchange for my honest review, and I am so glad I got it! There are also two other books in this series!
This idea of a slide-n-seek book is genius! Each page is full of glorious artwork with bright, bold colors, and hidden images, as well as a circular wheel that you pull with a little ribbon to reveal a hidden picture.
I read it to my boys last night, and they were fighting over it, they loved it so much. Here were their reactions:
The 4-year-old: He wanted to read it again. He also wants to keep it for himself.
The 7-year-old: He loved the paintings on each page, the sliding wheel, and the I Spy game.
The 12-year-old: He thought the book was really fun, from the sliding wheel to the challenging I Spy game.
If you are looking for a book with a compelling story, this may not be your book. But, if I learned anything last night, an unforgettable book takes many forms, and in this case, it is bold, beautiful, colors, a challenging game that takes a lot of observation, and a fun sliding wheel.
I think this book will be one of my kids’ favorites for a very long time.
