Don’t know why they chose Texas, as there are places with a lot more famous landmarks, plus this covers a whole state when previous editions were in only one city. Even then there weren’t that many famous places; the Alamo—the only obvious one—Houston Space Center, and Route 66 are the features.
On the bright side, more monsters per page!
3.5 pushed up to 4/5
What a great way to introduce children to the history and landmarks of Texas. The illustrations are bright and colourful. Some of the monsters are harder to find but that's all part of the fun of it. I enjoyed this search and find book a lot.
This is an excellent picture book, I really enjoyed it and it will definitely be a firm favourite.
I love the facts that the book holds as well as the fun games to find the monsters - 5 stars
This book is part of a series of books for children, combining fun facts and illustrations about various historic or recreational locations with a search for monsters hidden in the images. The monsters are not too difficult to find, but seem to be appropriate for the target audience. The nice thing about this book is the appeal it has to a wide range of readers--those who only want to find the monsters and those who are interested in learning more about the places. It would be perfect as a summer gift to a family traveling to Texas (or the other places in this series). I especially like the little monster at the edge of each page telling readers how many monsters are hiding on the pages. Great job with illustrations as well, as they are appealing.
