Editorial Reviews
From School Library Journal
Kindergarten-Grade 4?Another brilliant collaboration by this incredibly innovative duo. This time, the puzzles take place in and around a haunted house (an altered Victorian dollhouse). Readers are invited to search for mice, spiders, candles, bats, jack-o-lanterns, and bones among other creepy things found in the hallway, library, fireplace, and laboratory of the house, as well as in the graveyard and a garden of ghoulies outside. (How the miniature cobwebs were simulated remains a mystery.) Using a spooky sky for a backdrop, various props, and some very creative lighting, Wick achieves a definite dramatic effect. Marzollo's clever rhyming puzzles add great flair, and, as in the earlier titles, readers are encouraged to solve more riddles at the end and to make up selections of their own. This book is fun for a wide range of ages, as the picture riddles vary in difficulty and sophistication. A must, in multiple copies, for any Halloween collection.?Helen Rosenberg, Chicago Public Library, IL

From Booklist
Gr. 2^-5, younger for reading aloud. Youngsters who enjoy a challenge will delight in this latest I Spy offering, in which rhyming riddles invite readers to locate various objects in the accompanying picture. For this book, Wick constructed intricate sets, then photographed them in dramatic lighting. The result is a series of spectacularly eerie pictures chock-full of hidden objects. Some objects are easy to see, ensuring even the youngest child some success. But there are always one or two items in each scene that require a sharp eye and a lot of patience. "Extra Credit Riddles," found at the end of the book, offer more challenges, as do the appended suggestions for creative writing tie-ins. With little actual reading required, the book will be ideal for encouraging reluctant readers or children who have reading disabilities. Lauren Peterson

Worth It
For the $4.00 shipping and the $0.01 for the book and not buying it for $12, worth it.
C@n you find the ampersand in +his line?
The "I Spy" series probably rates in the Top 10 of favorite books to check out from the library. It's whisk in--Stamp back out! That fast! At this time of year, "Spooky Night" is really big. One thing to note: This book does not leave with one child--it leaves with a gang. They study the pictures en masse. It's a great group effort finding all the objects.
"Picture riddles fill this book;
Turn the pages! Take a look!
Use your mind, use your eye;
Read the riddles--play I SPY!"
The above instructions are on the Table of Contents. Finding the objects is such a kick! What adds to the trickiness is the number of intriguing items not on the list. "But I want them to be on the list because I found them!"
Special thanks goes to Walter Wick for his fun, tricky photography!
A book for all ages!
