Description Praised by American science teachers for its refreshingly unique take on hidden picture books — 'A book that demands real determination, and keeps kids absorbed for hours without them even noticing the time pass.' - Publishers Weekly Where Original Photographic Picture Books Meet Classic World Fairy Tales The Can You See It? series is a completely new kind of hidden picture book, praised by American science teachers as a 'brain-boosting hidden picture search.' Translated and sold in millions of copies around the world, Can You See It? has been a beloved favorite in Korea ever since its first title was published in 2003. Author Walter Wick, who pioneered a whole new picture book genre by uniquely blending games, puzzles, and science, invites children into a magical world of fairy tales in Can You See It? 5. In this book, the stage for the hidden picture search is set across eleven of the most beloved classic fairy tales for children, including The Three Little Pigs, Little Red Riding Hood, Sleeping Beauty, Hansel and Gretel, Puss in Boots, Cinderella, and The Little Mermaid. The author selected the most exciting moments from these timeless tales by the Brothers Grimm, Hans Christian Andersen, and Charles Perrault, then meticulously built elaborate sets using dolls, props, and artwork, and photographed each scene. As children search for the charming hidden objects and adorable animal friends tucked throughout each picture, they naturally find themselves swept up in the magic of the stories. A Hidden Picture Book Full of Delightful Stories Open the book, and the very first scene is from The Three Little Pigs — a brilliantly compressed retelling of the story in a single striking image. In the original tale, each of the three little pigs builds his own house: the flimsy straw house and the wooden house are easily destroyed by the wolf, while only the sturdy brick house built by the youngest pig withstands his attack. Walter Wick condenses this entire storyline into one symbolic scene: as the wolf huffs and puffs, the straw and wood houses shatter, sending the first two pigs flying through the air — while one of them can be seen landing safely, curled up asleep inside the youngest pig's brick house. It's a clever visual hint at how the story ends. The scene from Little Red Riding Hood captures the moment the girl in her red cloak arrives at her grandmother's house to visit — unaware that the wicked wolf has already eaten Grandma and is lying in her bed, waiting. It's one of the most suspenseful moments in the entire tale. In Cinderella, the book vividly recreates the moment just before midnight, as the spell begins to break and Cinderella rushes to flee the palace, leaving one glass slipper behind on the staircase. In Sleeping Beauty, we see the princess who has slept for a hundred years under the witch's curse — but in the distance, a prince rides toward the castle on horseback, letting children imagine what happens next (the kiss that will wake her). Throughout all eleven fairy tales, Walter Wick carefully chooses the most important, exciting, and suspenseful moments and recreates them in exquisite detail. So as children search for hidden objects, they also end up closely examining the key moments of each story. Children who already know these tales will delight in recognizing the characters and recalling the story, while children discovering them for the first time can enjoy listening to a parent tell the tale while exploring the hidden pictures together. Finally, the book's closing scene, 'Everyone Gather Round!', brings together all the characters from the eleven fairy tales in one grand image — a delightful gift from the author to children who have journeyed through each and every story.
