Hide and Seek in the Jungle

Sean Callery, , illus. by Rebecca Robinson. . Kingfisher, $9.99 (12pp) ISBN 978-0-7534-6392-5

Part peek-a-boo, part hide-and-seek, each spread of this large board book features a different animal (four in total) obscured by rainforest foliage. Die-cut windows show certain features of each animal, and clues are offered to help readers guess their hidden identities (“My stripes help me hide in the tall grass. I have sharp claws and teeth. I can see and hear very well”). Lifting one large flap vertically and the other horizontally reveals a striking tiger and cubs. Photos of other common rainforest animals appear on the final spread. The engaging, hands-on design should gratify youngest readers. Up to age 5. (Apr.)
