Gayle | 3 comments I am trying to find a "search and find" book from the 1990's (I think) where there are ancient cities/countries shown and somehow a time travel event happened and there are modern objects scattered around in ancient times (e.g. someone wearing a wrist watch in Ancient Egypt). Does anyone recognize or know the name of this book?

Gayle, when did you read this book - in the 1990's?

Does the story mention kids and a time machine or time travel?

Can you describe the illustrations - e.g., simple or detailed, realistic or cartoon-like, painted watercolors or bold graphics? Do they remind you of a similar illustrator or picture book author?

I added some details to the header/topic title. You can update it by clicking the small "edit" link after the header. This only works on the full Desktop website - not the Mobile website or app. (On the Mobile website, click the "Desktop version" link at the bottom of the page.)

Do you look for people who have traveled to the past?

For example: Look for Lisa: Time Traveler or something else by Tony Tallarico? Description from Amazon: "Readers search for Lisa as she tests a new time machine and visits the dinosaurs, Count Dracula, Benjamin Franklin as he flew his kite, Marie Curie's laboratory, the first moon landing, and other intriguing events and settings that feature intricate color illustrations that hide a multitude of surprises.Readers search for Lisa as she tests a new time machine and visits the dinosaurs, Count Dracula, Marie Curie's laboratory, the first moon landing, and other intriguing events and settings that feature intricate color illustrations that hide a multitude of surprises."
