Look-alikes Around The World: An Album Of Amazing Postcards

Move over Waldo, Look-Alikes from Around the World (ages 5 & up, $15.99) takes us from New England to the Taj Mahal searching for everyday objects in disguise. Hidden pictures mavens will love studying these clever colorful photo "postcards." A Viking with a kiwi beard, a lobster with pistachio nut claws, and Mt. Fuji framed in popcorn blossoms are a few of the sights that await globe-trotting detectives of all ages.

Take an eye-opening trip around the world! Using everyday objects in ingenious ways, artist Joan Steiner has created three-dimensional scenes of more than 40 famous landmarks and familiar vacation locales ? from the shores of Cape Cod and chateaux across Europe to the Egyptian pyramids and the magestic Taj Mahal. Complete with photographs of the actual sites, fascinating facts, and more than 500 look-alikes to search for, this unique postcard album will challenge and captivate puzzlers of all ages.

Joan Steiner is a graduate of Barnard College and a self-taught artist. Her previous Look-Alikes books have sold more than one million copies and have been published in sixteen countries around the world. She is the recipient of numerous art and design awards, including a Society of Illustrators Award and a National Endowment for the Arts fellowship.
