Dinosaur Detective's Search-and-Find Rescue Mission

K-Gr 3—In this search and find book, Detective Dinosaur is on the hunt, tasked with locating a missing person or animal on each page, along with four or five secondary items. Each spread contains a different environment, like the forest, the jungle, or the sea. At the end, each missing character has an additional mission to add to the adventure. Unlike some of its contemporaries, Rescue Mission doesn't have a plethora of details and characters to pore over, so some expert searchers may declare it too easy. The difficulty is more in finding the often tiny items in a grand setting. But half of the fun of perusing books such as these is to revel in the small details and hidden jokes on each page, which Rescue Mission is at times lacking. An answer key at the back reveals where everything is located, including the extra items, which will please anyone frustrated. Guerrive's artwork resembles an "Adventure Time" style because of the massive feel of the environments mixed with the cartoonish characters.
