Where's Baby?

by Anne Hunter

A 2020 Geisel Honor book!
 
Papa Fox is looking for Baby Fox, who is just out of his sight . . . but not ours! An adorable, interactive read-aloud for fans of Are You My Mother?

In this clever introduction to prepositions, a near-sighted Papa is looking for his baby. Is Baby up in the tree? Is Baby under the log? Is Baby around the corner? Where could Baby be?

Readers will delight in spotting the little fox on every page as Papa wanders the forest, encountering other animals all along the way, but never quite able to spot his own baby. Anne Hunter's delicate and lovely illustrations with their limited palette highlight the humor of this adorable hide-and-seek tale.

Originally published on my blog: Nonstop Reader.

Where's Baby? is a sweetly illustrated hunt-and-find short read for babies to the youngest readers. Due out 7th Jan 2020 from Penguin Random House Canada, it's 40 pages and will be available in hardcover format.

Papa Fox is having a hard time finding Baby. His searches take him all over, but without success. He comes back home and finally finds Baby. The art and text, done in ballpoint ink and colored pencils is beautifully detailed, whimsical, and appealing. Artist/author Anne Hunter has a lovely and appealing style which will entertain and engage. Papa encounters a number of characters on his search for Baby which will also provide adult readers with a nice selection for silly character voices when reading.

This is a sweet and interactive book for bonding with even the smallest readers and revisiting over and over. It will likely become a favorite. It would make a good library or kindergarten class or reading circle selection as well as a read-to-me or bedtime story.

Five stars. Really a beautiful little book.
