Thomas & Friends - First Look and Find - PI Kids

This is one of my sons favorite books! We bought this for him when we took a road trip right before his 3rd birthday and it kept him busy in the car. He looked at the pages over and over again and enjoyed looking for the different objects on each page.

1) First and foremost, I recommend any of the First Look and Finds!!! By far the most instrumental tool we have in teaching our young talker new words. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED no matter which book you choose. 2) All First Seek and Find books are very durable. Thick, sturdy pages. Easy to clean if needed. They hardly wear at all. For these reasons, I think buying the used ones for $4 (a penny plus $3.99 shipping) on amazon is just fine. 3) About us: Our boy is 22 months old who loves trains, and LOVES Thomas!!! F.L. & F. books have been his favorite since he was 18 months old. 4) This particular book is slightly unimpressive when compared to other first seek and finds (that's just my opinion). Not as much going on in the pictures to talk about and discuss. However, my toddler would completely disagree, this is his favorite seek and find book!!! 5) These books are far better than the I SPY level one books (board books or paperback). The board books only have 2 objects to find per page, the paperbacks have 4-5 objects per page. Most First Seek and Find books have 7-8 objects per page. More bang for your book and it will keep your baby more interested. 6) As another reviewer pointed out, these are books you can hand your children and automatically just love upon first sight. First seek and finds require a lot of interaction (at least in the beginning). They are books to aid you in TEACHING your children, as all books in your house should be!

I got First Look and Find: Thomas & Friends for my 3 year old grandson. The first time he saw the book, he immediately asked to see it. We got in the car and once in his carseat, the book fit neatly on his little lap and he started on the first page touching the images in the box, then locating each item in its place on the page. After he finished the book, he said, "This is a good book" and started it all over again. He wanted me to read it to him again at bedtime. The colors are vivid, it is surely developing pre-reading skills and the pages should stand up a good long while. Nicely done.

I found this book a terrific early book. It does a great job of introducing children to books when it shows things on the left hand page to be found in the right hand page. The little ones I have read this book with get excited because it challenges them at their level and gives them success without belittling their developing minds. Give kids success with books early on and reading becomes more enthusiastic later on.

My 2-year old son loves this book because of the characters, but some of the items to find are difficult to spot for someone his age (e.g., one page has lots of autumn leaves, and you're supposed to find differently shaped and colored ones—difficult for 2-year-old eyes to distinguish). We have just as much fun, though, seeking out items not specifically called out, and the book is really big and super sturdy.

My 3 year old loves the look and find books. Mostly because the whole book itself can take a beating of a 3 year old (being dropped etc). If he gets bored enough he likes to tear apart books and then gets upset after the fact. These books hold up real well and he is such a huge Thomas fan! This book won't be given until his 4th Birthday, but he already has many books made by the same company that I can write up a review on. Plus I've also looked at it before putting it away.

Great books for a "book loving" 2 year old. They have easier pages and more difficult ones, and many many activities for each page so it's a book that will keep them engaged for a long time. Always something new to look at. These books are quite large though - so look at the dimensions to avoid any surprises!

The images in this book are vibrant and filled with characters and details my son loves exploring. It’s also sturdy and well-made with thick pages — great for little hands. However, the book is surprisingly small, which makes it difficult (even for me) to spot the hidden objects. A larger format would make it much more enjoyable and easier to use as intended.
