This was a really fun, cute read finding all 100 mice throughout the book. My kids loved finding and counting all the mice. Illustration was so good and colorful too.

Pip is a mouse. He plays hide-and-seek with a hundred mouse friends. Help him find his friends in the rooms of a circus caravan, a spaceship, a treehouse, a castle, a submarine, and other fun places. The bright, colorful illustrations of this engaging search-and-find picture book will appeal to toddlers and the pre-K set.

This is one of the best children's books we've read together (my son and I). We're actually waiting for it to come out in paperback to buy a copy for his shelf.

The pictures are amazing. The world Thais Vanderheyden has created with all the little mice is both entertaining and educational. My son just kept going...Next, next, next. Look, there's a mouse, there's a little mouse... One, two, three...

Then you have the opportunity to add vocabulary of verbs, places, objects. Even adjectives of how the mice are behaving, feeling. If they like or don't like where they are. It's a fantastic journey.

I honestly think this book is perfect even without any text. The pictures are so self-explanatory a toddler can read it alone and still be interested and inspired. And the best thing, you keep it stored away and pull it out after a while and he will have forgotten all the hiding spots and the seeking starts anew.

Brilliant!

I highly recommend to all parents and children who love a good spotting-game!

It's a fun read. The illustration is nice. The game is simple, fun, and easy to understand.
It also took various interesting place which I believe would entertain kids.

Excellent Counting and Hide-and-Seek

This book was a happy find. First, the drawing and coloring made the pages vivid, but it was still possible to actually find the hidden mice. Second, the ten two-page spreads had interesting and unexpected themes. Finally, the ten sets of count-to-ten allowed for lots of counting fun in addition to the seeking and finding. That pretty much covered the high points for me.

Lots of times these sorts of books are illustrated in a style that makes it very hard to find the missing items. They can be too stylized or too small or just too well disguised. In this book we get a fair shot at finding what we want and the book stays fun throughout.

The choice of scenes is varied. We search a circus caravan, a space ship, a submarine, a surf shack, a mouse hotel, a castle, a dairy farm, a blimp, an igloo, and a tent in the Casbah. That is a pretty jolly, colorful, and rather exotic selection.

We find ten mice at each location, so we count from one to ten over and over, and introduce the idea of one hundred. Again, good counting.

So, when you add in the fact that the mice are reasonably cute and that the whole project is colorful and crisp, this was an all around nice counting and seeking find.
