BUYING ADVISORY: PRE-K - ADVISABLE

AUDIENCE APPEAL: HIGH

This is a slide and seek book which require a simple finger slide interaction from the reader. In this book a bear is hiding. The pages take readers through a variety of forms of transportation like a bus, a car, a boat, and a hot air balloon. Where is Bear? The reader must slide the circle to find out.

Young readers will be fascinated by the slide and seek mechanism. I thought this book was just downright adorable with harmonious colors and lovely illustrations. The only reason I didn’t rate it as essential is because there really isn’t a plot, which makes it a fun toy but not necessarily a must have book. Each book in this series has a different animal and different themed setting. 

Edit: My 10 month old daughter LOVES this book and plays with it all the time, figuring out the sliders and looking at the pages. There is one page that is a pull out instead of a slider and she has trouble with that one but is curious how it works.
