Hide and Seek

by Taro Gomi

Cute little book that has hidden pictures. One page shows an object, on the facing side it's hidden within an image. It's cleverly done. In a line of giraffes; one has candles on its head instead of horns. A group of raccoons- one has a striped sock instead of a tail. A rooster's comb is a glove, a praying mantis body is a green pencil, the negative space in an alligator's mouth forms a toothbrush. And so on. My favorite is the last page, which has a group of children. A spoon and fork are hidden in the shapes of a girls' pigtails. Fun.
