AUDIENCE APPEAL: HIGH  

Fergus the bear is playing hide and seek with the reader.  In the beginning, he is really bad at hiding and it’s easy to find him.  But with some coaching from the narrator, Fergus starts to camouflage himself very well. 

Fergus is hilarious.  The book has the feel of when you are playing hide and seek with a little kid who thinks if they close their eyes, you won’t see them.  As Fergus follows the directions of a good way to hide, it becomes a spot it book which is also fun. The illustrations are fun and appealing.
