Description

Play hide and seek with a boy, his animal friends, and a dinosaur that’s surprisingly hard to spot in the city. The brilliantly interactive follow-up to international bestselling picture book Have You Seen Elephant?

Best friends boy, dog, and elephant are VERY good at hide-and-seek. There’s a missing dinosaur in the city-who better to spot this elusive giant? They search the skate park, the museum, the subway . . .

No one in the city can spot the dinosaur, not even this expert hide-and-seek team. But delighted readers will be pointing “There it is!” from the first page.

This absurd, laugh-out-loud picture book is richly illustrated with David Barrow’s trademark beautiful use of light and color and dramatic cityscapes-a guaranteed hit with dinosaur-loving toddlers.

With clues, surprises, and humor, this game-inside-a-book celebrates imaginative play and is perfect for sharing with children who will love being better at finding the dinosaur than their adult reader.

David Barrow received the Sebastian Walker award for most promising children’s illustrator from the Cambridge School of Art. His first book Have You Seen Elephant? was shortlisted for the Waterstones Prize and is a bestseller around the world.
