This is an illustration-centric kids book that doesn't really tell much of a story (at all), but could be great for developing your young one's observation, memory, and talking. Each double-page is a colorful school scene (playground, lunch-room, etc) with lots of different things to spot and name. The illustrations are pretty geometric, but vivid and full of animal kids at school, which is cool for young readers (my daughter loves stories with animals). Not a kids book where the sing-songy-ness of the story is what will bring you back again and again, but rather one that's interactive and your little one can have fun pointing out objects, seeing if they can find them all, and do better than last time.

This is a fun Look and Find book that I read with our 4 year old granddaughter. She was able to find the items and had fun following looking at the scenes. Each double page scene is a bright, busy school scene - classroom, schoolyard, cafeteria etc. There were extra questions at the back to find colors, numbers and an item in each scene. The only thing I didn't see was an answer code at the back to make sure we had found the right numbers on each quest.
The book does not tell a story but is very appropriate for learning fun.
I have always loved 'seek and find' books so I was glad to share this with our "Sweet Pea."

I read Little Detectives at Home with my grandson and then we read/looked at this one. He is almost 4 and it is a good book for him and I to look at together. Knowing how he reacted to the busyness of the last one, I just picked two items per page to search for. He was quite captivated with this book as he is looking forward to staring Kindergarten in September and we kept referring to the pictures as such. As I said when I reviewed the other one, you need to decide what the attention span is of the person you are using it with and spend the amount of time per page that is good for them. This is a great book to sharpen the skills of observation, conversation and vocabulary development. A great book for a kindergarten and primary classroom. Thanks to the publisher for providing me with an ARC of this book.

Little Detectives At School is a fun seek and find book for little ones. The illustrations are colorful and fun. If you have a kiddo that likes seek and find books, this is a great option. I received a free ARC from NetGalley.

For those of us who grew up reading Highlights magazine, we all know the very first page every single one of us would go to. The hidden object one of course! There was nothing worse than being at the doctor's office only to find some parent handed another kid a pencil so that kid could ruin the fun for all the other kids.
This one is not an overly complicated one so it is perfect for the toddler set. Older children will find it too easy but hit the right age group and they will love it. In fact, because this is meant for the youngest of children I loved it even more as most hidden object books seem to cater to school aged children. This is also a good one for special needs children. The book also encourages counting, color recognition and at the end has extra activities so the children can go back through the pages and try and find more items.
The drawings were great and even as an adult I enjoyed finding the objects simply because the illustrations were such a delight. There is something to look at on every inch of the page.
5 out of 5 stars

Another great Look-and-Find book.
Having enjoyed Little Detectives at Home with my granddaughter, this will be the obvious book to move on to when she's found all the hidden items in the home. As yet she's a long way from school age so I think of this as the second book, even though they will both be released on the same day.
As before, there are six images, this time, each one illustrates a room in a school. In each of these rooms there are numerous characters and objects and the idea is to find each of eight items, illustrated and named along the bottom of the page.
We meet the same characters as in the previous book and again I found some of them a little too stylised. Particularly the "snowman'' who I assume must be a duck. Despite this small criticism, these books are a great alternative to traditional stories and I can see them being a useful distraction in waiting rooms or busy places, where children need to be kept busy.
And when we have found all the items on each of the pages there is a list of additional things we can search for at the back - telling the time on the clock that appears on every page and counting items of different colours etc.
Age 3 - 5 years.

I enjoyed every aspect of this book and plan on purchasing it when available. It's a wonderful book to read with preschoolers. The colors are bright and vivid, and the objects to find are just the right level of difficulty for the youngest readers. There are many little ones will find quickly, but a good mix of some they will also have to look for. I especially liked the last page with the bonus challenges of finding an object that had appeared in each spread. The book shows school in a positive light with classroom, lunchroom, field trip, playground and other scenes of school life. I really enjoyed this title.

A cute look and find book about a year in school. Each page encourages kids to find items from various rooms, or activities at school. I think it’s also great that at the end they have things to find in every scene, or some that involve counting. The only thing I worry about is the kids falling and tripping over all the balls in every scene.

Like they did in their previous book at home, the Little Detectives are tasked with looking for specific items from a list, this time in crowded classrooms. It’s a simple concept but a popular one, as there are plenty of similar computer-based games for the kiddies to graduate to when they’re older. For now, this should keep them occupied.

Learning is the name of the game and what a better way to do so than with pictures. Your kids will have to search and find items once again but this time it’s at school and what a fun way to to get them to learn their colors, animals, shapes and much more, this book with its quirky characters and eye-popping colors is very cute.

This book is bright, colourful, fun and educational. You couldn't ask for anything more from a children's book. It makes learning fun for all and engages the child throughout. Would strongly recommend this book and will be adding it to my shopping list for the summer.
