Food Hide and Sneak

Food Hide and Sneak

Synopsis

One of these things is almost like the others...

Behold this artful and unusual odd-one-out board book for the youngest readers, featuring a much-loved theme: food! Bastien Contraire masterfully creates spreads with six to eight images each - all of which belong together, except one that may resemble the others but has no business joining the rest. An umbrella among mushrooms, a snake among vegetables, and a canoe among pastries are all hiding in plain sight for the delighted toddler to giddily discover! Young readers will exercise skills of categorization and visual acuity in finding the imposter , and bask in the preposterous silliness. This is the third book in Contraire's collectible Hide and Sneak series.

Colors are brighter than they appear - printed in pure Pantones.

Media Reviews

This beautiful board book is full of food ? and something that doesn't belong with that food. Find the sneaky snake amongst vegetables, or the duck among the doughnuts, helping littles understand categorisation as they find the imposter. --Absolutely Mama

Can you spot the umbrella amongst the mushrooms?... Help little ones find the imposter in each drawing and have a giggle along the way. --Baby Magazine

A companion board book to the lovely Vehicle Hide and Sneak, this asks small children to spot the odd one out in an assortment of graphic foods - is it a toadstool or a beach umbrella, a rubber duck or an iced bun? Fun, engaging and beautifully produced. --Illustration Magazine
