5.0 out of 5 stars Bonding with your child or young friend, July 16, 1998
By A Customer
I have been searching for this delightful book in children's stores for some time. I have five children and wore out two copies of this much loved book and I was thrilled to find it here! If you can try to imitate Grover's voice a bit when you read it to your child,it makes it even more special. The declaration at the end about the child being the reader's BEST FRIEND brought tears to my eyes almost everytime we read it.This book is a real TREASURE. I heartily encourage you to try this book out on your favorite,(or even troublesome child), and watch them melt as you tell them from the bottom of your heart,"You're my BEST FRIEND!"

5.0 out of 5 stars They don't get any better than this, February 21, 2005
By Matt Hetling "Matt" (Bethel, ME USA) - See all my reviews
This is one of the best picture books, ever. Grover would like to play hide and seek with the listener, but he has very limited hiding options, as he is caught within the confines of the pages of the book you are holding. He tries everything from coloring the pages blue to making a lot of speech balloons to hide behind, but his presence is always obvious. He gets increasingly deperate to find a good hiding place as the listener outs him time after time. In the end, he resorts to begging the listener to pretend that he can't be found, and then thanks the listener joyously, ending with a warm "you are my best friend."

This book is so inventive and fun that it's unbelievable. By making the child an active participant in the game, there's not a moment when the listener will feel left out, and the empowerment of being able to find Grover again and again is immeasurable. In the end, the listener learns a lesson about how to make someone else happy, even if it means bending the rules of the game a little, which is a great thing to teach kids.

The illustrations are also terrific, featuring lots of cute details that make it seem like Grover is inhabiting the book (such as drawn tears and creases in the page).

This is a book that will bring you and your child closer together for hours of fun. I highly recommend it, along with Oscar's Book, Grover and the Everything in the Whole Wide World Museum, and There's a Monster at the End of this Book (which also stars Grover).

5.0 out of 5 stars Would you like to play hide and seek in this book, May 8, 2003
By Kathleen Johnson (Lake St. Louis, MO United States) - See all my reviews
I read this to a class of 2/3 year olds and a class of 3/4 year olds and the kids ggigled through the whole book. They answered Grovers questions and wanted it read again and again. This is very similar to the Monster at the End of the Book. I highly recommend this book.
