I felt the need to do a quick introduction of the I SPY books. This is just an example of the MANY books out there. The photographs are by Walter Wick. He and his writing partner, Jean Marzollo are geniuses.Walter's web site:
One day he took a random photo of a bunch of screws, paperclips, etc on his light box. Years later it catches the eye of Jean Marzollo, an editor for a kindergarten magazine. They make a poster. And that catches the eye of Scholastic editors, which eventually leads them to do these books.
The pictures are art in themselves. My husband and I have had a hard time finding some of the items!! The books definitely give you the satisfaction of a good jigsaw puzzle!
The part of Walters web site that I really enjoyed are the photos of how he and his team create these amazing "sets". He also has his own place on FACEBOOK where you can follow the building/art process.
He's got some really interesting books for 7 + years old which I will be SURE to get in the future. VISIT his site!!!
