The “I Spy” series of books by Jean Marzollo and Walter Wick have become a staple of modern children’s literature. Why? They challenge the brain and they’re really fun, two things that draw kids. The latest in the series “I Spy A to Z: A Book of Picture Riddles,” has a purpose: setting the stage for children to read independently. A great introduction for parents and educators explains how the book should be approached in four distinct stages: finding items in the collage-style photographs that correspond with words in the text; noticing examples of repetitive language; noticing rhyming words; and noticing phonics clues. That makes the book a progressive learning tool for children in preschool through about first grade. But of course, what lures children is not what they need to learn but what they find interesting. And the great photographs have preschoolers and kindergartners squarely in mind, with themes ranging from toy cars to dinosaurs to wooden blocks to beach buckets. Another title in a series that has yet to disappoint.
