Publishers Weekly's Best Books of 1993

"It's hard to believe that Marzollo and Wick could top their I SPY CHRISTMAS, but their latest book of picture riddles is their best yet... Bonus for readers beyond the suggested age range: the extra-credit riddles at the end are devilish indeed." — Publishers Weekly

"A challenging, topnotch offering that's more fun than a barrel of monkeys." — School Library Journal

From the Publisher

Using riotous color and cheerfully surreal designs, photographer Wick has created a collection of picture riddles filled with hidden objects associated with amusement park fun houses. Clowns, balloons, pinwheels, and puppet stages are only a few of the objects in the pictures, which are accompanied by rhyming clues that point the way toward the hidden objects in each spread. The third in a series by Marzollo and Wick, this has the same high-quality color reproductions as the previous books. While the subject matter alone will make the book a success, a section of "Extra Credit" riddles, a suggestion for writing original picture riddles, and an explanation of how the sets for each photograph were made will help make the book even more popular.
