About this title

From School Library Journal:

PreSchool-Grade 2-- This potentially frightening lift-the-flap book turns out to be a take-off on the game of hide-and-seek. A little girl hides from a large hairy blue monster, and as the monster searches for her hiding place, children can lift the flap to find what's really there. Finally, the monster finds her behind a tree, and children turning the page will be taken aback by a two-page spread showing the huge monster bearing its teeth and shouting "Got you!" Then it is the monster's turn to hide. Illustrated in bright, bold felt-tip pens on white backgrounds, the book first leads readers to believe that a monster is chasing this child. The "Got you!" spread may scare some children to the point that they will be unable to finish the story and learn that the two are just playing a game. However, there are children who always want a scary book, and this might fit the bill if the fragile flaps, which will limit the circulation and life of this book, don't frighten you off. --Carol McMichael, Greenfield Public Library, Ind.
