5.0 out of 5 stars
A very funny book
This book is very funny. It has a family that says very unrealistic things while they look for Hildy. Hildy is a typical 5 year old who has very STRONG emotions.

Not a fun hide and seek book
The pictures in this book are cute. The title suggests playfulness as in a game of hide-and-seek. The text, however, made me sad for this little girl and her family. Hildy is angry at something and expresses it by hiding while her family is looking for her and pleading for her to come out.

Not a fun hide and seek book, May 12, 2005
This review is from: Come Out, Come Out! (Hardcover)
The pictures in this book are cute. The title suggests playfulness as in a game of hide-and-seek. The text, however, made me sad for this little girl and her family. Hildy is angry at something and expresses it by hiding while her family is looking for her and pleading for her to come out. I would not read this to children for fear that they would ignore the pleas of family to come out and talk about what is wrong - whether it is feelings of being neglected or a child's selfishness in needing attention and doing something negative to have her needs met. Although the ending makes you feel there is genuine love for the child, the story is about her inability to deal with whatever family dynamics are making her miserable enough to run away and hide from her family.
