Daniela Drescher, a German children's artist and author whose many picture-books explore the world of tiny woodland fairies and elves, here presents a lift-the-flap look at the animal inhabitants of that ecosystem. Each two-page spread features an animal, and a question for the reader. Who's looking for raspberries, along with the bear cubs? Where has squirrel hidden his nuts? Who has come to listen to wise old owl? Where is wild pig's missing piglet? All these questions are answered by searching through the images hidden beneath the flaps on each cardboard-reinforced page.

Although far more animal-centric than many of Drescher's other titles, Who's Hiding In There?, originally published in German as Was raschelt den da?, still features plenty of elves and fairies, either in the main illustrations, or hidden behind various flaps. This is still the same magical woodland world found in the other books, after all. The artwork is just lovely, with its use of deep, vibrant colours and depiction of appealing animals and delicate magical beings. I particularly liked the title-page and front endpaper, with shows a fox making his way through the woods, and only wish that the fox were featured as one of the animals in the book. There isn't much of a story here, but the beautiful artwork, engaging question-and-answer text, and interactive flaps meant to keep the child searching, all combine to create an entertaining reading experience.
