The printed text on each spread is surrounded by small spot illustrations of individual items that readers can search for in the main, detailed pictures. A helpful key in backmatter pages reveals the precise locations. Blurring the line between game and story, this is a title readers will revisit annually—sort of like St. Nick revisiting those who celebrate Christmas. One to place under the tree…” – Kirkus Reviews
