Again, Walter Wick and friends have created a masterpiece of photography that I can hardly begin to comprehend.
Few things are so apt to get me fully into the Christmas spirit as this book, and it always does an exceptional job of that. The scene in the toy store window is nigh upon inspired, and it is surrounded by so many other scenes absolutely bursting with creative energy that the book as a whole is a virtual must-have.

I had a mild obsession with this series of picture-riddle books when I was a kid, and this one was my favorite. The picture set-ups are creative and detailed - I see new things every time I look at them. And the "riddles" are appropriate for children, generally leaning to the simple, easy side, but with some mixed in that are trickier and ask the reader to stretch a bit and think about things in different ways.
If I had kids I'd want all these books for them!

I have four children and we own each " I spy " book. These books are truly our favorite and they are not just for the young. Each picture makes them think, explore, and problem solve all on their own in a very different way. Ethan had cancer as a kid and these books are amongst the things that got us through the series of hospitalizations over 18 months.
I think we now own all of the original I Spy Books. I Spy Christmas is one of the early ones and as the title implies is Christmas themed. It's like "Too Many Christmas Trees" the book.
The Christmas theme makes for a rather bland book. There's a lot of red, a lot of green and a lot of fake snow. I always want to rush through the book instead of linger of over the photos like I do in some of the others (I Spy Spooky Night and I Spy Treasure Hunt). That being said, it's one o...more

Both of my kids really enjoy finding pictures in this book, but especially my two-year-old son, who will sit with me for an hour and mumble "I Spy Little Eye..." There are some harder to find objects, and some larger ones, allowing all ages to "play."
I've enjoyed these books since my son was about two years old. He loved them and was so good at finding everything, and he'd find them quicker than I could -shush- don't tell! My daughter has been checking these books out from the library lately and it's been fun looking through them with her. I'm happy to report that I found every hidden object in this book.

I loved all the I SPY books. My kids and I really enjoyed spending time together and finding everything. We still get them out once in a while.
My boys and I pull this one out each Christmas-- after a year, we've forgotten where everything was (lol)
Great pictures and lots of fun! A little difficult though--it gives me a headache after a while.
Super cute! I love these books. Although, only two of the puzzles were REALLY hard. The rest my husband and I got fairly easily.
A twist from the usual Christmas story read aloud. Typical I Spy book with a Christmas theme.
"Read" this with my niece. It was fun, but you can only "read" it once.
It is tons of fun to look for the pictures in this book!
If you don't have one then go get one. They're so much fun.

children love checking these out to search for pictures, its funny how many said they practiced their reading stills reading the words.
Love to look at these with my kiddos!
My inlaws have this book and I go through it every year when my wife and I go to their house for Christmas. Of course, each year when I sit down with it I find that I've forgotten where most of the stuff is so it's always fun.
I loved these books whenever I was in Elementary school.
It kept me busy and made me use my noggin.
So if you're trying to work and your kids on getting on your nerves, plop them on the couch with one of these. =D
