Illustrated by
Jan Ormerod.
Young readers will enjoy finding Josie in every picture as she engages her parents and older brother in a game of hide-and-seek played according to Toddlers' Rules: her hiding place constantly changes while her seekers pretend not to see her. This rhyming text is given an updated look with Ormerod's spirited pen-and-colored-ink illustrations, which artfully walk a fine line between the sweetly idyllic and the realistically ordinary.
