About the Book

Join the fun at a busy museum as you help find a lost dog and reunite him with his owner in this playful, picture-filled adventure.

A trip to the museum becomes an exciting game of I Spy in this charming book.

The museum, with its vast halls and endless variety of different exhibits, provides the perfect backdrop for a playful adventure filled with discovery.

Every spread features a busy, double-page illustration of a different room packed with art, artifacts and all sorts of visitors. As children explore the Great Hall, the Dinosaur, Transportation, and Ancient Civilization exhibits, the Art Gallery and Sculpture Garden, as well as the Ocean Hall, they’re invited to search for Pepin, a mischievous dog who has wandered away from his owner, Carlo.

Each room is a lively world of its own, full of activity and a recurring cast of wonderfully diverse characters. As kids search for Pepin on each page, they’ll delight in finding all the little details and humorous moments hidden throughout the scenes.

This playful, interactive book encourages an engaging game of observation, keeping young readers enthralled as they learn about museums and follow Pepin’s trail—right into Carlo’s waiting arms.
