Editorial Reviews

From Kirkus Reviews

One of the first two (1977) books, never before published here, of a Japanese illustrator noted for his bold simplicity and striking designs, this seven-inch square book not only challenges children to find objects cleverly concealed in the pictures but is also a counting book. ``Who hid the candles?'' They serve as horns on one of five giraffes; ``Who hid the fork and spoon?'' They dangle from the pigtails of one of 12 children. In the same format, the second book, Who Ate It?, is equally attractive, but ``ate'' is not the mot juste: the different foods are hidden on the outsides of the animals. A fine, economical purchase for the youngest. (Picture book. 0-6 -- Copyright ©1991, Kirkus Associates, LP.

4.0 out of 5 stars A little difficult at first, May 27, 2000

By A Customer

This review is from: Who Hid It? (Pb) (Discovery Books for Toddlers) (Paperback)

My 19 month old really enjoys this book. He found it very difficult at first and wasn't sure where the objects were hidden in the pictures. It really is helpful that the object they are looking for is pictured on the left, alone, so they understand what they are looking for in the picture on the right. After the first time, though, he finds it rewarding to be able to locate the objects. I personally found some of the objects so well hidden, blended into the picture, that I had to really look myself to find the object. For instance, they have to find a green pencil in a picture of about 10 praying mantis'. Only one has the pencil as his body. Another you have to locate a playing card with hearts on about 10 butterflies. It's a fun book that my child reaches for over and over.
