Editorial Reviews

The creators of Silly Street offer a cheerful but slight search-and-find/counting game, which follows a group of bored kids (initially seen gazing listlessly at a Foxworthylike comedian performing on TV) who decide to play hide-and-seek in their neighborhood. On each spread, readers are asked to find the child who's hiding, as well as a cumulative list of items: one raccoon, two spoons, three mops, etc., topping out at 14 cupcakes. Tepid verse sets up each escapade, but doesn't provide much of a story: "Some people can hide much better than others/ And that was the case with David C. Smothers./ He knew blending in was totally key/ And he did it quite well, I think you'll agree." Björkman's bustling cartoons become progressively more cluttered and outlandish as the number of hidden items grows, and monkeys provide antics on several spreads. By Where's Waldo? or Walter Wick standards, this doesn't present much of a challenge; it's best suited to kids on the younger edge of the targeted audience. Ages 4–7. (Oct.)

Publishers Weekly

Hide!!! is an absolutely charming, engaging and colorful book that fathers and children can read together, laugh about and enjoy. - Wayne Parker, About.com official Fatherhood guide write

This will be one of your child's or grandchild's instant favorites. - John Lehman, Rosebud Book Reviews

The book is richly illustrated - there is a lot to look at on each page and it is all very colorful and appealing. Both my niece (2) and nephew (6) were captivated by the book - my niece liked looking at the pictures and listening to the verse while my nephew was into trying to find each item hidden in the pictures and counting them all. This is an excellent book for families with children of multiple ages - these is something in there for everyone!? ? Books in the City

What a fun book! Hide!!! by Jeff Foxworthy is a fun book that will challenge the entire family. - The IE Mommy

The book is a story about a neighborhood hide and seek game with a twist. The twist though is not in the actual story, it's on the pages...you remember those Find It scenes in the Highlights catalog we used to get when we were kids? That's what you get with this! It's a story with a built in search on each page. After you read the page you can go on a journey for random household and yard objects with whomever you are reading it with (sans pencil). I like that it will stay relevant for a long time for my kids, Kenna already loves books and this one will last FOR-E-VER (ala Sandlot) for her. Also, the irony is not lost on me that the name of the book is also a clue as to the books duplicitous nature.? ? Macaroni Kid
