Book Reviews of Who's Hiding?
Book Review: ADORABLE AND FUN!
Summary: 5 Stars
FOUND THIS BOOK AT THE LOCAL LIBRARY AND MY 2-YR-OLD SON IMMEDIATELY TOOK TO IT. HE LOVED FINDING WHICH ANIMAL WAS ACTING OUT WHAT BEHAVIOR. WHEN THE CAPITON ASKS, "WHO'S CRYING?", HIS EYES WOULD SEARCH AND SEARCH PAGE UNTIL HE'D FIND THE TEARY-EYED BUNNY AND POINT TO HIM SAYING, "RABBIT!", & MIMICKING HIS MISERABLE LITTLE FROWNY FACE. AND WHEN THE CAPTION ASKS, "WHO'S ANGRY?", AGAIN HE'D SEARCH AND SEARCH, POINTING OUT THE ANGRY ANIMAL AND SHOWING ME HIS CORRESPONDING MAD FACE. IT WAS GREAT FUN FOR BOTH OF US!Book Review: Can You Spot the Differences?
Summary: 5 Stars
Who's Hiding by Satoru Onishi is a fun book to read aloud to toddlers. This book from Japan has two page spreads of simple, bright animal figures. The illustration varies slightly as the question on the page changes. For example, one page asks "who's backwards" and another asks "who's sleeping". In other cases, the background color changes and the question is, "who is hiding"? Just in case you are not sure of the author's intended response, the answers are given in the back of the book. Another page names the animals for the zoologically challenged reader. Karen Woodworth-Roman, www.librarians.infoBook Review: Clever & Unique
Summary: 5 Stars
Always looking for new and imaginitive books for my 2-year-old. Was pleased to find this one. The "guessing games" get more difficult as you turn the page, with fewer clues as to the animal's species being revealed. Eventually the child must call upon memory recollection to guess the animals. Wonderfully challenging for a preschooler, or any child learning their animals.Book Review: Doesn't Keep Son's Attention
Summary: 3 Stars
I was a little disappointed. THis book doesn't keep my almost-two-year olds attention as well as I thought. He prefers his Sandra Boyton books much better. I do love the colorful pictures though. Maybe in a year or so he'll be more interested.Book Review: Excellent book!
Summary: 5 Stars
I love this book. It's a great "find-the-hidden-things" kind of book that kids love, and it teaches vocabulary in a fun way. Kids can learn the names of many different kinds of animals, as well as the descriptive words that illustrate them (e.g. who has horns, who is backward, who is sleeping, etc.) Finding the hidden descriptors is not super obvious even to adults, so it also teaches them to look closely at details when finding things.
I recommend this book to anyone with young kids - the kids love it and it's a great teaching tool as well!
