Spot It Again! Find More Hidden Creatures

Delphine Chedru, Abrams, $14.95 (40p) ISBN 978-0-8109-9736-3

First published in France, this stylish companion to Spot It! uses abstract patterns, flaps, and cutouts to conceal a variety of animals. A "chilly little spider" hangs in a gossamer web that resembles the pale blue snowflakes that surround it; elsewhere, a "flying fish" (defined solely by the dot of an eye and a slash of a gill) is an anomaly within thin, weaving bands of red and blue lines, and an "owl who just woke up" is embedded among snakelike chains of intertwining rust and red circles. Locating the hidden shapes should prove gratifying, while broadening readers' perceptions of abstract designs. Ages 6–up. (May)
