Children's ✦ Penny’s Take
The Most Amazing Hide-and-Seek Alphabet Book
Robert Crowther · 2010
84/100
👍 Worth It
Robert Crowther's paper-engineered classic has lasted nearly fifty years for a reason — the pull-tab and lift-flap mechanics are genuinely ingenious and toddlers come back to it again and again. Every letter reveals an animal with just enough surprise to hold a two-year-old's attention, and multi-generational staying power in early childhood libraries does not happen by accident. A confident buy for any household with small children.
