Book Descriptions
for Hide & Seek by Il Sung Na
From Cooperative Children's Book Center (CCBC)
While Elephant hides his eyes and counts to ten, Flamingo, Giraffe, Rhino, Tortoise, and Gorilla are among the animals that look for a strategic spot to hide. Elephant quickly finds his friends when he begins to search—all except Chameleon. But observant readers may have already spotted Chameleon hiding on each of the previous pages. Na’s distinctive illustration style, which combines “handmade painterly textures with digitally generated layers” compiled in Adobe Photoshop, is perfectly suited to Chameleon’s masterful camouflage skills. (Ages 2–5)

As Elephant counts from one to ten, all the animals find special places to hide. When it's time to seek, will he be able to find everyone . . . even Chameleon?
Like Na's previous books, Hide & Seek offers rich illustrations, bright colors, and a simple, spare text—all wrapped up in a beautiful kid-friendly package. Elephant counts from one to ten in big, bold numerals, and there's an additional butterfly on each spread, giving readers something to count as the story goes along. Kids will also love spotting the camouflaged chameleon on every page!
