Simon comes over to play hide-and-seek, but he can't find his best friend, Molly. A strange girl wearing a large hat, sunglasses, and a feather boa arrives and tries to help him find her. When they fail, Simon is too sad to play with the stranger, until she reveals that she is Molly, just playing a trick on her friend. Childlike paintings with bright swaths of color and wide brush strokes work well with the uncomplicated text.
