“I spy with my little eye…” The young boy sails the sea accumulating things in his spyglass via a sing-song rhyming game.

This bright and beautiful book, about simple childhood adventure, will be a favorite with young readers. Following the pattern of an "I Spy" game, the book depicts a blue-haired boy setting sail for a distant island. When he arrives, he finds an eager puppy waiting for him, and they celebrate with a day of fishing, swimming, and relaxing.

I love the illustrator
Back when I was in college earning my teaching certificate, I took a class on integrating the arts into the regular classroom. I have been longing to use many of those ideas. Because of mandated testing and extreme pressure, I have never had much time to integrate as I wished. Second grade does not have testing and I am SO EXCITED!! As soon as I discovered this book, I nearly danced a jig.

Good repetition book. Boy spys with his little eye . . . Good for storytime
This is a wonderful book! The story builds on itself in a beautiful way. Nicoletta Ceccoli's illustrations bring your imagination to the page in a way that simple story cannot. Great picture book for all ages!
