Look and Find Books
/Great books do not always need to include words. Picture books can be of great interest to children, especially the “Look and Find” type. Look and Find books provide ample entertainment to kids of all ages for a considerable amount of time. These types of books make toddlers feel included in the fun because looking for pictures is something they can easily do, even if they cannot read just yet.
“Look & Find” picture books cater to different ages and come in an assortment of reading levels. The older the age range, the more difficult it is to find the pictures. Have you ever read the “Where’s Waldo” books? These are based on the same principle, but the child is asked to find a list of items that are hidden within each page.
Both my two year old and my 6 year old rascal love these books and reach for them frequently. Some of our favorites include Disney Princess, Cars, Toy Story, and Finding Dory. My favorite moment is when the kids find all the items on the page and display a proud look on their face, showing their sense of accomplishment. Look & Find books are also a nice change for parents, as they are more interactive for the little ones. You can also take the reading experience to the next level and ask the children to make up their own story from the pictures they see on each page. This mama can easily endorse Look & Find books because they promote family time while also fostering rascals’ observation skills, creativity, and imagination.
Here are a few of our favorite Look and Find Books:
