Gigi and Zachary's Around-The-World Adventure: A Seek-And-Find Game

Gilles Eduar. Chronicle Books, $16.95 (56pp) ISBN 978-0-8118-3909-9

Gilles Eduar's carnival-bright double-spread gouaches transport readers to 19 sites around the world in the oversize Gigi and Zachary's Around-the-World Adventure: A Seek-and-Find Game. As Gigi, a giraffe, and Zachary, a zebra, travel to a boxing match in Australia, a marketplace in Guatemala, a farm in Poland, etc., readers are asked to locate more than 500 items within the pictures. The items are in plain sight, but the challenge comes in mastering such terms as ""bollard,"" ""gangway"" and ""quay"" (all found in ""the port of Istanbul on the Bosphorus""). The final spreads offer a key to matching terms to the paintings.
