Sliding board-book panels illustrate six different animal habitats. Frost's colorful, cartoonish critters feature in a guessing game. A question appears on one page: "Who is in the flowerbed, digging up the ground?" In the busy illustration, a rabbit, a cat, or even the worms could be digging. The page opposite each question expands to display the rhymed response and a full image of the heretofor partially hidden animal. (In the garden scene it is a spotted yellow pup.) The sliding pages line up perfectly when closed, but the animals don't always line up properly when opened. The dolphin seems to be detached from its tail, and the lamb's back legs connect to its body at an awkward angle. The cadence of the rhymes is sometimes forced, with words chosen because they rhyme, not because they add information. For example, the penguin says, "Cheep cheep cheep!" evidently because "cheep" rhymes with "deep." Other animals to find include a tiger cub, chick, and bear cub. Initially the sliders are quite stiff but will loosen up with use, but they may not survive the repeated tugs and pulls of inquisitive toddlers. The book's biggest weakness is that turning the sliding-page design places every other answer on the left instead of the right. This may confuse young children who are just learning that reading (in English) requires looking from left to right. Cute but no more than serviceable. (Board book. 1-3)
