Children's Literature
In another transition from picture book to board book, Baker's book succeeds. Hide-and-seek is a favorite childhood game, so kids will have no problem understanding the fun Baker's colorful snake is having. He blends into the scene--and becoming part of a hat, hiding among balls of yarn, and even pretends to be the frosting on a cake. Sometimes, he isn't that easy to spot. Interactive entertainment and an amusing rhyming text combine to create a delightful book. 1999, Red Wagon/Harcourt, Ages 1 to 3, $5.95. Reviewer: Marilyn Courtot—Children's Literature
