  Books in the Hide and Seek series provide an entertaining introduction to some of the words that tell us where things are. This book looks at "Near" and “Far”, and features an animal character called Eddie the Elephant who is playing hide-and-seek. On each spread, Eddie is hiding using one of the two opposite words featured in the book’s title, and the reader is asked to find him. The fun, cartoon-like design combined with the interactive “hide-and-seek” approach makes these books visually appealing for young readers and great to read aloud together.

They have each other, and if they work hard, New York is full of opportunities.

Featuring Molly Idle’s graceful artwork, this adorable counting book will delight young children as they master new words and concepts. Praise for Flora and the Chicks “These chicks are an adorable brood. Here’s hoping Flora and an array of beasties will be appearing in the flaps of more board books soon.” —Kirkus Reviews (starred review)“Readers will enjoy counting the chicks as page by page they increase in number. Flora displays moves that would earn the admiration of any ballerina, performing jetés and pliés as she corrals the wayward chicks. . . . Idle’s characters, girl and birds alike, are wonderfully expressive, and the images have a timeless quality.” —School Library Journal (starred review)</
