Run! Quick! Hide! He's Coming! You'll have to read the book to find out who "he" is.
Thoughts: What a fun book! When you first start reading it, you think the animals are hiding from something bad, but then you realize it's just a game of hide and seek. Using this book in storytime, I think we'd go through it once and identify all the animals and then go back a second time to read the story. The text is so brief, asking about the animals as I read would hinder the narrative. Run! would pair well with Hide & Seek by Il Sung Na. The illustrations look like cut paper collage, but may be digital. I especially like the expressions on the animals faces and the foldout page where you have to find them hiding.
Themes: Jungle Animals, Hide and Seek
