For quite a while now Isaac has enjoyed looking at books in the "Can You See What I See?" series by Walter Wick. These books feature photographs of elaborately constructed scenes, usually containing toys or clever miniatures, with minimal text that suggests that the reader search for ten or so specific hidden items on each page.
Today we were reading Dream Machine, one of the books in that series, and after searching in vain for a hidden hot dog bun on one of the pages, Isaac finally said, "Let's look in the index."
He even flipped to the back of the book in search of it, and he seemed confused to discover that there was none. I explained that although it would have been useful to be able to look up "hot dog bun," it's usually nonfiction books that have indexes.
I think I've mentioned previously that he's a librarian's son.
