What does the Pageticker team say about Hide-and-Seek Pig?

Hide-and-Seek Pig is a cheerful little game of hunt-the-hen, with Julia Donaldson’s bouncy rhymes doing exactly what they should: inviting everyone to join in. The sturdy lift-the-flaps and bright Axel Scheffler illustrations make it especially good for toddlers who enjoy guessing, finding and shouting out animal names. It is simple by design, so older preschoolers may want a more substantial story, but for shared reading with very young children, this one is hard to beat.
