Who's Hiding?

Who's hiding? Who's crying? Who's backwards? Look carefully! is it dog, tiger, hippo, zebra, bear, reindeer, kangaroo, lion, giraffe, monkey, bull, rhino, pig, sheep, hen, elephant, or cat? Can you tell? Look again...18 fun-loving animals can be found on each question-posing page, sending readers into an up-close, attention-to-detail discovery.

This book is fantastic to read aloud, especially when you get to the final two pages: Who's eyes? Children learn the names of animals, to recognize expressions, colours and how to count. "It is so simple, and so clever," says Gecko Press publisher, Julia Marhsall. "Whenever I read it out loud I am surprised when I turn the page - it never feels predictable."

"The dearest and most moving and delightful child since the immortal Alice."  —Mark Twain

My dislikes: Being an orphan, having red hair, people twitting about my red hair, being called "carrots" by Gilbert Blythe. My likes: Living at the Green Gables with Marilla and Matthew Cuthbert, my bosom-friend Diana, dresses with puff sleeves, renaming Barry's pond the Lake of Shining Waters, coming top of the class. My regrets: Dyeing my hair green. Smashing a slate over Gilbert Blythe's head. My dream: To tame my temper. To be good (this is an uphill struggle). To grow up to have auburn hair!

And when a friendly robin helps Mary find the key, she discovers the most magical place anyone could imagine.
