I Spy A-to-Z

Congratulations to our winners: #25 – Carol (Grand Prize), #38 – Yvonne, #98 – Gabriel, #64 – Deborah, #44 – Stephanie

ispyatoz

My 3-1/2 year old opened this book and immediately started chanting, “I spy with my little eye”.  She knew right away what the book was all about.  I’ve seen this book on store shelves and online and I’m sad to say, I never did pick up a copy of it.  Though, I’m happy that I was recently sent “I Spy A to Z” because it is big fun to look at with my preschooler.

Here’s the skinny:

Easy-to-read riddles by Jean Marzollo are paired with forty-six object-filled photographs by Walter Wick to create I Spy A to Z, the most engaging alphabet book ever! With more than thirty titles and 36 million books in print, the I Spy series continues to win the hearts and minds of parents and kids everywhere.

We have a pretty sweet deal for you, too.  A chance to win a pretty huge “I Spy” prize pack for one lucky reader and the above book, I Spy A to Z for four (4) runner-up readers.  Check it:

  166. I remember I Spy books from when I was a kid but I haven’t played with my own children yet. I think my daughter (she’s 2 1/2) would get it now and would have a great time looking for things in the books. Thanks!

  170. My daughter has an I Spy bunnies book and an I Spy trains book that we could probably read and find the pictures in our sleep because we’ve looked at it so many times :)

  171. I have played I spy as a child and with my children. Now I am getting ready for my first granddaughter and would love to win this so I can play this with her when she is older.
