title: School Shake-Up: Hidden Picture Puzzles (Seek It Out)
author:  Jill Kalz 
description: Gr 1-4-Considerably more challenging than QEB's "Puzzle Adventures" set, these "Where's Waldo"-style volumes cram hundreds of similar-looking cartoon figures and objects into busy spreads. Each tableau comes with a visual list of items to spot: 6 in the first few scenes and 9 and then 12 in subsequent pages. Christmas not only includes spreads for Hanukkah, Kwanzaa, and New Year's, but also settings that range from Santa's teeming workshop to celebrating crowds in tropical locales. Each volume ends with 10 bonus items to find.(c) Copyright 2011. Library Journals LLC, a wholly owned subsidiary of Media Source, Inc. No redistribution permitted.

  ## Welcome, Miss Snobby Pants
  
  
  Why would a grown-up want to come back to elementary school?” Nancy Drew’s
  best friend George Fayne asked.
  
  
  Nancy smiled at the sign on the school door. It read, Welcome Back, Alice
  Stone. Underneath was Alice’s old third-grade school picture.
