Bible Sleuth: New Testament, illustrated by Jose Perez Montero, is a seek and find book (a la Where's Waldo?) filled with interesting stories from Bible-times, including the birth of Jesus, the Wedding at Cana, The Beatitudes, meeting Zacchaeus and so many more. Each two-page spread is filled with wonderful hand-drawn characters either involved in the story or going about their business in the scene. You also meet "Mike," a little boy in yellow overalls, who takes you through the stories. Believe it or not, for us, he was the most difficult to find despite his clothing being completely different than everyone else's.
I have 7-year-old avid fan of seek and find books, and he quickly sat down and got to work. Some of the pages were more difficult than others, but he always enjoys a challenge. Even my 35-year-old brother-in-law sat with it for a while and spent some brain power on finding that "Mike kid." While the drawings are seemingly sketched a bit rough, I believe this helps to make it more interesting, and there is a lot of detail involved in each scene. You obviously don't want the characters to be too easy to find! This book is great for kids 5-12, who enjoy a good hunt along with some Bible knowledge.
I received a free copy of this book from Tyndale Blog Network in exchange for my honest review.
