Reviews

"A ladybug that likes to hide drives the action in this cheery, rhyming romp. "Yoo-hoo, Ladybug! Where are you?" This lilting refrain beckons children to hunt for the little beetle amid teeming, digitally rendered household toyscapes.... Ljungkvist includes enough animals, toys and recurring details...to invite plenty of scrutiny...a well-ordered experience that will both entertain and instruct young children. Ljungkvist's pictures pay homage to Barbara Cooney's Chanticleer and the Fox, Leo Lionni's windup mouse and Pat Hutchins's Rosie. Fox's playful rhymes steer young preschoolers along on this very satisfying excursion."-- "Kirkus Reviews, April 1, 2013"

"Effervescent graphics and an engrossing hide-and-seek game make this a diverting book to share.... Fox's (Tell Me About Your Day Today) repetitive phrases appear on Easter egg-hued pages opposite Ljungkvist's cacophonous digital art and punchy palette, whose playroom messiness couldn't be farther from her compulsively tidy Follow the Line and its sequels.... Young children will enjoy mastering this visual game."-- "Publishers Weekly, April 8, 2013"
