Dinosaur Search and Find by Fei Zheng-Ward is an interactive picture book that invites young readers to explore familiar places filled with playful surprises. Designed for children ages three to eight, the book features bright, detailed scenes where dinosaurs appear in unexpected settings, including a school, library, museum, grocery store, beach, and restaurant. Each spread challenges children to locate the hidden dinosaurs and spot the humorous details woven into everyday environments. The book encourages careful looking and repeated engagement, as every page offers multiple items to find and small visual jokes to notice along the way. Alongside the search activities, children are introduced to simple prompts that support counting, matching, and visual recognition. The structure accommodates a range of ages and abilities, allowing younger children to enjoy basic searches while older readers tackle more complex challenges.
The artwork by Nabila Amanda is busy in an inviting way, using bold colors, expressive characters, and details that reward close attention. The images are playful without becoming overwhelming, pointing the young reader's eyes naturally from one element to the next. The prompts are clearly written and supportive, allowing kids to move at their own pace while still feeling guided. Parents will appreciate how the book quietly supports skills such as focus, memory, and problem-solving without feeling instructional. Fei Zheng-Ward's book is for children who enjoy I Spy-style books, visual puzzles, and dinosaurs. It’s a book to return to again and again. Dinosaur Search and Find offers an engaging blend of play and learning that invites both shared reading and independent exploration.
