INTRODUCTION
Welcome to The Everything ® Kids' More Hidden Pictures Book!
As an artist, creating hidden picture puzzles is one of my favorite things to do. Why? Because I get to be sneaky. You may think you are looking at a picture of just one thing, but really there are a whole bunch of smaller pictures just waiting to be discovered. A boy's curly hair is actually a curly sheep, a patch on a pair of jeans is really a high-flying kite with a long tail, and bananas and teacups are lurking everywhere!
It takes some thinking, a lot of erasing, and a bit of redrawing to turn a nose into a trumpet or a bunch of tree branches into a king's crown. It is even harder to hide an entire elephant in the pattern of a beautiful dress! But if you study any picture long enough, the shapes start to look like other things. Suddenly a coat sleeve looks like a wrinkled sock, and a flower looks like a butterfly. After a while, it becomes easy to sneak extra pictures in everywhere.
I hope you enjoy finding all the crazy things that I've hidden for you in The Everything® Kids' More Hidden Pictures Book. Just remember — you can never be 100% sure what you are seeing because I am really, really sneaky!
Happy hunting,
Beth L. Blair
P.S. Check the following page for a puzzle to get you started. You might want to grab a supply of brightly colored markers. They will make it easy for you to highlight the hidden pictures once you have found them.
I chose these horses because they are both covered with big spots. It is easy to hide things in this kind of pattern!
Ready? There are 16 items that you need to find.
