Holiday Gift Idea 9: Can You See What I See?

Walter Wick is best known for the I Spy books, which featured text by Jean Marzollo, but has also produced a line of very similar books by himself called Can You See What I See?. If you're celebrating Christmas this year, there's a "Night Before Christmas"-specific book (and several more that would be suitable for other holidays). This would be a lovely gift to bring to anyone with kids in the 5- to 9-year-old range, and will entertain the adults around them, too. (As long as the house has decent lighting. These books are not the kind of thing you can read by the light of a gently crackling fire. Ideally, you'd have the kind of lights they use for surgery.)

Price: $10 to $15
