The hilarious mind behind I Don' t Want to Be a Frog and Bad Dog brings picture book fans the super-funny, interactive story of Fergus the bear, who loves to play hide-and-seek with the reader . . . but can' t really seem to get the hang of it. Children will giggle from start to finish as they follow huge, loveable Fergus and see all the silly ways in which he is TERRIBLE at playing hide-and-seek -- such as hiding behind a VERY tiny tree ("Found you, Fergus! That was too easy!") or hiding in a giant crowd of bunnies and squirrels ("Try bears, Fergus. Bears!"). But wait -- the game isn' t over yet! The last two pages fold out into a giant panoramic look-and-find scene, where Fergus is well and truly hidden, and young readers can have fun looking for him and lots of other silly details in the the crowd. There' s a ton of play value in this adorable book, and children will want to come back to it again and again. Fergus wants to play hide and seek. But, look, there he is, hiding right in the middle of a big blank page! "Found you, Fergus! That was too easy. Try hiding behind something. " (Giant, furry Fergus hides behind a very tiny tree. )"Oh, Fergus. Start by hiding in a crowd. " (Fergus hides next to duck and a fox, who don' t seem impressed. )"A crowd is more than THREE, Fergus!"
The continual voice of the speaker is that of a kind, patient instructor as Fergus follows directions, presents various choices for hiding places, and works to improve strategy. . . . An amusing introduction to the long-standing diversion of hide-and-seek books. --Kirkus "Fergus never gives up--a subtle nudge to readers who find their own attempts at mastery frustrating. "--Publishers Weekly "Undeniably adorable . . . This readaloud has a lot of potential for hilarity and interactivity"--The Bulletin of the Center for Children' s Books
