OUT IN THE MEADOW, ten cuddly friends play a game of hide and seek. Bear is It, and one by one he finds his playmates in their hiding places in the meadow. Once found, each friend joins Bear in the hunt for the others. Finally, all the animals have been found except for one-Mouse. But it is getting late and soon it will be bedtime. Where can Mouse have gone? John Butler's simple, charming story features a playful, rhyming text and soft, pastel-colored illustrations of fluffy, bright-eyed baby animals. Readers will be delighted each time an animal friend is found, whether up a tree or hiding in the tall, green grass in this irresistible read-aloud story perfect for sharing at bedtime or anytime.

Reviews

"Butler's soft, wide-eyed animals will appeal to children… snappy dialogue contributes to the pacing of the story and makes it well suited for reading aloud."
