Description

Look carefully! Its a game of hide and seek on every page in this mental workout for toddlersand grown ups.

Whos hiding Whos crying Whos backwards The answers to these questions are not as simple as they appear, and children and adults return to them again and again, fresh every time.

In this sturdy board book edition of bestseller Who's Hiding 18 colourful animals stand in a row. Something small changes on every double page: animals disappear, turn around, cry or sleep. Young children love spotting the changes and, at the same time, get to know animal names, colours, expressions, emotions and how to count.

A looking and searching puzzle book with many layers and a fantastic read aloud, as 18 colourful animals do something new on every page can you spot it This interactive board book tests the observational skills of every age of reader, perfect fun to quiz the family together. The final page is an hilarious game of memory a whos who with only the animals eyes to help you.

A winning formula of simple interactive fun for young children and a great tool for introducing counting, recognising emotion, expressions, names of animals and more. This book slows both young children and adults down and allows children to bring their own stories to each animal.

Whos Hiding is a great book for autistic children as all the animals stay in the same place on every page. Ideal for non-confident readers and parents as the interaction makes it impossible to read badly.

Reviews

I think it is quite brilliantits a really special one. -- Kate De Goldi, Radio NZ National
For the very small, the years best book -- New Zealand Listener

"A little gem of (not overly) cutesy Japanese graphic design, which asks about the animals that are illustrated in a simple question and answer format"

-- Metro Magazine

"The interactive aspect means that young children and adults or older siblings can have a lot of fun reading it together, while kids also learn to pay attention to detail."

-- Five Books, Best Kids' Books of 2022
