Seek and Find following a Sherlock Holmes-type hunting for treasure.
David Anson Russo has written several puzzle books, mostly mazes. This illustrated series follows a Holmes-style detective seeking 12 missing pieces of treasure, one for each illustrated double page spread in the book.
While it's a seek-and-find book, the illustrations are stunning and in depth, with detailed streets and crowdscapes, and there are further things for readers to look for once they've solved each pages puzzle. Both in the series are highly rated
In order for children to find the 12 pieces of gold hidden in this magical puzzle, they must first locate the treasure hunter, 2 rabbits, 3 babies, 4 blue signs, 5 musical instruments, and so on, which are also hidden within the full-color illustrations on each page.
The selfish sleuth Sir Gordon is searching the whole world over to find Pembleton Derby's 12 golden goblets. Youngsters will jump at the challenge as they travel to foreign lands, looking for hidden treats in each locale. If they're lucky, they'll find the golden goblets and a whole lot more. Full-color illustrations.
