This is a book about a kitten playing hide-and-seek with other animals. She is in the garden and finds a caterpillar, lady bug, snail, frog a bunny. She also plays hide and seek with two mice there. She goes to the pond and plays hide-and-seek with the ducklings. She then goes to a wooden area and plays hide-and-seek with squirrels.

Evaluation:
This is a high literature book. Not only is it a push-pull-turn and lift book but it also teaches shapes, colors, numbers, and opposites. It is a very interactive book that involves the reader to be active with it. The illustrations are really detailed and colorful. It is a board book so it is hard for readers to break when interacting with the book. It teaches the readers many different things and is fun at the same time. It also asks questions to get the reader even more into the book.
Literary Elements:
- Style- The style of this book is a push-pull-turn and life book. It has wheels that you can spin. When you do all of these things you are able to see new images and texts that appear.
- Theme- The theme of this book is hide-and-seek and finding things. It is also to teach children to learn in a fun and interactive way.
Mini Lesson:
I would use this book to teach a mini lesson on numbers. I would have the students try to find the number of certain things in the book that it asked for. I would then have the students draw their own picture and write a sentence at the top of what they wanted someone to find.
Illustrations:
The illustrations in this book are really colorful. They also are interactive and the text is within the pictures. You can understand what the text is saying by looking at the pictures and finding what they ask for. The pictures are also really interactive and you can move them.
Target Audience:
Early Elementary
