What's the Name of That Book???

This is quite a long shot as I don't remember much of this book, only that it was one of my favourites that we repeatedly borrowed from the library. Also I am from Finland and I have no idea if the book was from a Finnish author or translated from another language.
So the book is quite a large children's picture book kinda like Where's Waldo. I have a feeling there were one or two kids possibly spending a day in a castle or a castle-like-building at least. Also there was a "narrator" or a guide who was like, "This is the garden. Can you spot the sunflowers?" (though I don't remember sunflowers, this was just an example) I think there was one room / part of the building presented at every spread (is that the word? like two pages next to each other? :D) of the book.
The part I remember the best is the spa room. In that room you were supposed to help the bathing people by finding out (following the lines with your finger) which water tank or soap or such was connected by pipes to which bath / shower. I remember colours orange and light blue, possibly a light blue tile floor and orange pipings.
I remember there being a storyline (as I mentioned there was a "narrator" who guided you through the castle) but I don't think there was a lot of text. I also have a feeling that the story was about trying to find / catch something, a runaway animal maybe? Just a guess, though. Also as mentioned there were some objects you were supposed to find from each room / page.
I loved this book when I was just learning to read and would be thrilled to find it again. I dont remember much but I'm positive I will recognize the book when I see it! Thanks in advance <3
