Children's 'Find and Seek' Picture book. Outer Space and travel. Different objects at the bottom of the page, you look for these objects on the detailed page illustrations. Spaceships, people wearing astronaut suits, perhaps aliens? Read 2007-2009.

Hello everyone!

I remember reading this books during 2007/08/09ish –– it was a 'find and seek' picture book (similar to Where's Waldo idea), but down the bottom of the page would be different objects and the number of them you'd have to find, as well as a list of distinctive objects to find on each page.

I seem to recall it being set in outer space for a period, although I'm not sure if this was for the entire book. It could have been a set up where you travel to different locations on each page. Spaceships were definitely one of the objects you had to search for. There were people wearing astronaut suits, and perhaps aliens? I remember quite a few different 'characters' too– I'd say around teenaged, but can't be completely sure.

Also, the book seemed quite old when I read it (maybe late 90s?) and was illustrated. Lots of bright colours, busy pages, etc. Kind of reminds me of the television show 'Cyberchase' a bit, especially with the space theme.

Any help would be greatly appreciated! Thank you so much!

The Intergalactic Bus Trip (Usborne Puzzle Adventures)?
Star Quest by Andy Dixon?
The Planet of Terror by Patrick Burston?

If none of those, this is a good resource for the type of book you're looking for: https://gamebooks.org/index.php/

Simi, I don't think Gem is actively searching —or she might have Goodreads notifications turned off, and will check back in a few months when it occurs to her again! ;-) c'est l'Internet...

She was active again recently in May 2022.
I thought it might be The Oxford ABC Picture Dictionary. There's no picture on goodreads, but if you have a free account on archive.org you can borrow and read it online.
