Little Detectives at Home

A novel and interesting way of teaching kids to recognized items, time and colors, such as is it bedtime or playtime and other little interesting stuff, this is like a hidden object game only with kids in mine. I think it’s kind of cute with its vibrant colors and quirky illustrations.

Like the other book in the series (Little Detectives At Home) I really enjoyed this book. There are so many things to look at and find within the book and I love the extra activities on the end page. Very engaging and would definitely add it to my shopping list.

After reading and reviewing Little Detectives at School, I knew I wanted to check out this book also. It didn't disappoint. As a fourth grade teacher, I had an end of the year activity that I did with my class to review poetry concepts. We used the model of the popular I Spy books to make our own versions. This book is geared for younger readers, but it would be enjoyable for older siblings or cousins to read with them as well. I enjoy the format and the "be a detective" section at the bottom of each spread. The difficulty level seems appropriate to the target age range, and there is a page at the end that offers enrichment activities as well. Great book!

I loved these books when I was younger and would definitely recommend this one.
It has just the right amount of fun and learning for little ones. 5 stars

Excellent, colourful and very educational a must for home or school the ssme superb artwork as the previous book at school.
Can be used in the classroom for various lessons,counting, colourd, vocabulary art work .
Full on ideas for teachers and parents.

My youngest daughter was in speech therapy and this is just the type of book her therapist suggested for her. We had so much fun looking for things in the pictures and then turning it into a game around our home. The illustrations are adorable, modern and clean. The items are a perfect mix of difficulty to find. I can see this book being a favorite with both my 5 and 3 yr olds. I certainly will be purchasing these books as soon as they are released!

When I saw this book it reminded me a lot of the Richard Scary books my children loved so I thought I would try it out with my grandson. He is almost 4 so I thought it would be a good one for him and I to look at together. He was quite captivated for the first few pages as we searched for items and talked about what was happening in the picture, but then he lost interest. That is not to say this is not a good book, you just need to decide what the attention span is of the person you are using it with and spend the amount of time per page that is good for them. I know that when he comes back this week, I will sit with him again and continue where we left off, but not spend so much time per page. His attention span will lengthen with age and this is a great book to sharpen the skills of observation, conversation and vocabulary development. A great book for a kindergarten and primary classroom. Thanks to the publisher for providing me with an ARC of this book.

These books are a great idea for seeking and finds. Instead of just the usual seek and find they have turned it into the child becoming a detective and looking for all kinds of clues.

Recommended board book.
This is a cute book, a bit like Where's Wally for much younger children. There are six images, each one illustrating a room in a house. In each of these rooms there are numerous characters and objects and the idea is to find each of eight items, illustrated along the bottom of the page.

The recommended age for this book is 3 to 5 years but I tried it out with my eldest grandchild who is almost 2. We only attempted one page but she was fascinated by all the animal characters and on a second viewing is starting to get the hang of searching for the items. She was thrilled with herself for being able to name ''eggs''.

My only criticism is that some of the animal characters are actually quite difficult to identify, the dog looks very much like a bear and there's one that seems to be a snowman, though I must have got that wrong, maybe a duck?

I can see this being a book that we fall back on regularly when we find ourselves in waiting rooms or busy places where she needs to be kept busy. And when we have found all the items on each of the pages there is a list of additional things we can search for at the back - telling the time on the clock that appears on every page and counting items of different colours etc....and when all of that is done, there is a second book - Little Detectives at School, to move on to.

Entertaining and fun to read with kids. Great illistrations. Would recommend this book.

I think this is a brilliant idea - a picture book full of things for little ones to find, and become 'detectives'. There is plenty going on in each picture, and it took me a little while to find each of the objects so I'm sure for the little ones it'll provide plenty of amusement! It's a great way also to learn new vocabulary and ask lots of questions, i.e. 'what's that?', 'what is that for?' There are other books in the detectives range and I'm sure they'll offer hours of fun!

Thanks for Netgalley and respective publisher.

Another children-picture book.
Cute with all accountable things about Home.
Kids must enjoy this book, which would enhance their mind's illustrations.
Highly recommended to moms.
