Synopsis
In this amusing picture book, a colorful snake challenges children to find him as he slithers through pages of familiar objects. “Baker’s elaborate acrylic designs, variety of lush hues, and sly wit provide a feast for the eyes while maintaining the cohesive personality of the book from page to page.”—Publishers Weekly
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
