What a fun book! I
can just see Mom or Dad with the kids reading and searching through the pages
for the kids who are hiding in the ageless game of hide and seek and all the
little objects - i.e. 2 spoons, 4 flip flops, 1 raccoon, etc. - tucked away in
the illustrations.The Mom’s Choice Awards® (MCA) is an awards program that recognizes authors, inventors, companies, parents and others for their efforts in creating quality family-friendly media, products and services.
I love that it is written in rhyme with a good deal of
humor.
"Where to go?" thought Chris Cash
As he made a mad dash
To hide where he'd never be found.
When he saw the big tree
His heart leapt with glee.
To find him, don't look on the ground!
The illustrations get more complicated and the hidden
objects become more numerous and varied as
the "story" progresses.
This colorful children's book took me back to a kinder,
slower, more gentle time. A time when on
a summer's evening the kids were safe to run through the neighbor playing hide
and seek. They were safe. They had fun.
And it was good exercise. Remember how
we could slip back in to "base" while the seeker's back was turned?
It was always good to do that and not be found. The essence of this time of fun in a child's life was
captured by the facial expressions and body language of the kids.
Well done, author Jeff Foxworthy and Illustrator Steve Bjorkman.
