Who’s Hiding? by Satoru Onishi is a multi- award winning book for babies and toddlers. Sharp-eyed youngsters will have fun with this search-and-find picture book. Eighteen simply drawn, brightly colored animals are laid out in the same order on each spread. A rear view is laid out on the endpapers. The first spread shows the creatures and their names and asks, Who is hiding? The next spread shows all of them except for the reindeer who is invisible except for his antlers. This question alternates with others, with sometimes one figure disappearing and other times with more than one change occurring. The next question is, Who’s crying? It’s the rabbit who is frowning and shedding a tear. Who’s angry? is not quite as clear cut, but is identified in the answer key as the scowling blue bear.
