Review:
Every day, chubby toddler Tilly plays treasure-hunting games with her parents. Her mother hides her breakfast banana in the laundry basket, her father hides her rabbit doll in the tool chest, and Tilly sometimes even hides herself at bedtime! Allan Ahlberg's engaging story cherishes the comfort of family playfulness and ritual: "My treasure!" cries Tilly each time she finds a hidden item. And "My treasure!" cries each of her smiling parents when they find their mischievous daughter hiding behind a curtain, fuzzy bunny slippers showing all the while. Gillian Tyler's watercolors are filled with reassuring details: when Mom and Dad "hide" from Tilly on a walk in the woods, Tyler depicts them huddled conspicuously behind a tiny sapling. "Easy peasy," says Tilly. Young readers will join Tilly in her searches, perhaps seeing before she does her white cat in the snow or the gold foil-wrapped chocolate coins in the potted plant. Ahlberg and Tyler are the creative team behind the highly acclaimed Snail House. (Ages 3 to 6) --Emilie Coulter
