Cute, brief picture book with the same conceit as the Scarry classic "Little Bear's Bedtime" -- parents pretending to look for their kid when they know all along where the kid is. The youngest readers will have fun spotting totally obvious Baby on every page. ( )

Perfect readaloud fun while also highlighting prepositions. An outstanding classroom and lap read! ( )

This is a very simple but enjoyable book. The illustrations are cute and interactive. On each set of pages you can ask a child to see if they can spot baby, who is hiding somewhere on each page. It is also a good opportunity to learn about simple prepositions like "over", "under", and "inside". The cast of characters would allow for a reader to make up some great voices as well. ( )

Toddlers are one of the most difficult audiences to reach when writing or reading books. Anne Hunter makes it look easy in the charming book, Where's Baby?

Papa Fox looks high and low for Baby, calling out in a large word bubble each time, "Ba-by!" He asks if Baby is up in the tree, inside the log, under the water, etc. Each time, someone is there, but it's not Baby. Skunk replies, "I am inside the log, but I am not your baby. Go away!"

Gentle illustrations in ballpoint pen and colored pencils make it easy to spot Baby hiding in each spread. Blues and grays dominate the color palette, but Baby's brown coloring will help even the youngest of listeners spot his hiding places. Readers will suspect that Papa knows all along where Baby is hiding, and they will be right. Baby can't wait to play again!

Elements of grammar (location prepositions), fun (seek and find), and comfort (love of family) are all found in Where's Baby?
