Children's ✦ Penny’s Take
Hide-and-seek Pig
Julia Donaldson · 2011
84/100
👍 Worth It
Julia Donaldson and Axel Scheffler do lift-the-flap better than almost anyone, and this Tales from Acorn Wood entry is a proven delight for toddlers — sturdy, rhythmic, interactive, and built for the repeated readings that small children demand. Ten million copies sold is not hype in this case; the mechanics genuinely work. The narrative is thin, but that is exactly right for the age range.
