ReviewsSchool Library Journal (November 1, 2003; 0-439-39950-5) Gr 1-5-Wick has done it again with this multilayered puzzle fantasy. The small red, yellow, and blue bead figure that was spotted in the first Can You See What I See? (Scholastic, 2002) is back in a sporty red roadster with a lightning bolt blazed on the hood. Each of the 12 riddle/photo combinations moves further into the scene that begins and ends in a toy-strewn bedroom and explores the nooks and crannies of the cities and worlds set up for make-believe. The bead-person and his car are seen zooming through the cardboard streets, past "a girl with a bow,/a hand in a pocket,/a spoon on a plate,/a man in a rocket," and many other fantastic and everyday items, as readers are drawn into the dream and find the objects named in the text. As in his previous books, Wick uses homonyms and visual tricks, giving children more to see and look for than what may appear at first glance. Careful observers, startled out of the dream world at the end by a robot alarm clock, would do well to heed the advice of the beaded-letter bracelet in a bowl that urges them to "SEYMOUR." A wonderful addition to any collection.-Genevieve Gallagher, Orange County Public Library, VA Copyright 2003 Reed Business Information. Publishers Weekly (September 15, 2003; 0-439-39950-5) In a quartet of companion books this fall, the photographs steal the show. Chock-full of detailed photos for the most determined I Spy fans, Walter Wick's Can You See What I See? Dream Machine: A Picture Adventure to Search and Solve contains 12 elaborate scenes with hidden objects to find.
