Where's Spot?
by Eric Hill
What it's about:
It is Spot's supper time and he is nowhere to be found. This lift-the-flap book is a game of hide-and-seek to join Spot's mommy in looking for him. As Sally searches, she finds a monkey in the closet, a hippo in the piano, a turtle under the rug, and other animals in other surprising places. Eventually, she finds Spot and he eats his supper like a good puppy!
Why we like it:
This is one of my son's all-time favorite books. In fact, he loves it so much that we've already worn out our original copy and are reading a new one. Each page looks significantly different from the next. This keeps the book engaging over multiple reads - even if the child can't lift the flaps on their own. My son and I also like talking about the animals that Sally finds on her search. This book has been a fun way to practice "what the snake says" and "what the lion says" as well.
Suggested Age Range:
We started reading this book when my son was about 6 months old. Although he couldn't lift the flaps by himself at that point, he still liked looking at the pictures and "finding" Spot at the end. When he got a little older, he loved lifting the flaps, but often ripped them in his excitement. Now (at 16+ months) he can lift the flaps without ripping them, and he still enjoys reading this book again and again.
