Book Reviews of Who's Hiding?
Book Review: Fabulous from the Library
Summary: 5 Stars
My 2 year old son LOVES THIS book so much, we had to find it! We rented it from the library on our bi-weekly trip, and he won't let go of it. We read it in the afternoon, he goes to bed with it, we read it in the morning, and after just one week, he can retell the whole book! It starts easier with a simple, "Who's hiding?" and just one animal blending in on the colored page. The animals stay in the same arrangement, and are drawn with a cartoon-like feature, but I think that's attractive to him. The next page has a plain white background, and asks, "Who's sleeping? crying? angry?" All of the emotions we have been trying to explain to him (thus to eliminate the screaming tantrums!) A great match to inquisitive 2 year old boys!!Book Review: Fun for Toddlers
Summary: 5 Stars
Just look at this cover. How could you not pick it up and review it immediately? (I'm a sucker for symmetry.)
On the surface of things, "Who's Hiding," by Saturu Onishi, is a simple book. 18 animals are lined up in rows of 6 across each double-page spread. They appear always in the same order: dog, tiger, hippo, zebra, bear, reindeer/kangaroo, lion, rabbit, giraffe, monkey, bull/rhino, pig, sheep, hen, elephant, cat. The animals, as you see, are colorful iconic representations and very appealing to a young child.
Once we meet each of the animals (I can just imagine reading their names over and over again to a small child), the fun begins. The first question is "who's hiding?" Then the child must find the "missing" animal--in this case the reindeer with only antlers and facial features visible. Onishi also asks "who's crying?," "who's angry?," "who has horns?," "who's backwards?," and "who's sleeping?" The final page features only eyes on blacked-out pages and asks "Who's who?" You know you have a smart toddler if they begin rattling out the names in order.
"Who's Hiding" is aimed at the 0-3 audience and is sure to provide hours of read-along fun. Enjoy!
Book Review: Simple and fun
Summary: 5 Stars
I got this book at an airport for my 4 yr old and 3 yr old boys. They are just a tad old for this book but they thought it was hilarious. They loved it. I would recommend this for anyone with a toddler. Perfect for before bedtime story.Book Review: Who's Hiding is a FUN book!
Summary: 5 Stars
Although the book appears really simple on first flip-through, "Who's Hiding" really makes kids think ... and they learn new vocabulary and memorization skills while they're at it. We checked the book out of the library, but liked it so much that after renewing it once, bought it so we'd have our own copy.Book Review: Who's Hiding?
Summary: 5 Stars
This book is great! It helps children increease their memory retention n promotes observation skills. It can be presented in a simple state appropriate for a 2yr old (like mine) and can become more complex to meet the needs of up to 6yr olds.
