PreS-K–Negative space hides animals and readers will need to listen carefully to the well-written rhyming clues to find the creatures lurking within the illustrations. A limited palette makes this a challenge and even caregivers will enjoy the hunt and find aspect in myriad selections carefully chosen for toddler appeal. This is another successful offering in the “Illusions in Art” series that will be appreciated by young and old alike.

VERDICT A smart offering for young children that teaches and pleases in equal measure.
