Synopsis

Books in the Hide and Seek series provide an entertaining introduction to some of the words that tell us where things are. This book looks at “Left” and “Right”, and features an animal character called Eddie the Elephant who is playing hide-and-seek. On each spread, Eddie is hiding using one of the two opposite words featured in the book’s title, and the reader is asked to find him. The fun, cartoon-like design combined with the interactive “hide-and-seek” approach makes these books visually appealing for young readers and great to read aloud together.

About this title

About the Author:

Daniel Nunn has written numerous books for young readers on a variety of topics, specializing in early years and elementary education. Like Eddie the Elephant, he enjoys playing hide and seek with his two young children. His favorite hiding place is behind the curtains in the living room!

From School Library Journal:

Prek-K-These bright books combine stock photos with a drawing of a cartoon elephant, Eddie, to teach concepts such as near or far, on or under, and left or right. Each title first defines the featured terms ("Under means below something"), then asks readers to find Eddie. For example, in Left or Right, children are asked, "Where is Eddie? Do you see him to the left or the right of the flowers?" A page turn reveals the answer. Final pages contain true or false statements (e.g., "Eddie is under the bed. True or False?"). Answers are located in the back of each book. The concept words are in bold print, making them easy to find. A larger trim size promotes group and shared reading experiences, but because each title follows the same pattern, students can work up to interacting with the books independently. Children will enjoy finding Eddie and the set's playful humor.α(c) Copyright 2011. Library Journals LLC, a wholly owned subsidiary of Media Source, Inc. No redistribution permitted.
