Play hide and seek in the city with a boy, his animal friends and a dinosaur that's surprisingly hard to spot. The brilliantly interactive follow-up to international bestselling picture book, Have You Seen Elephant?

Best friends boy, dog and elephant are VERY good at hide-and-seek. There's a missing dinosaur in the city-who better to spot this elusive giant? They search the skate park, the museum, the subway...

No one in the city can spot the dinosaur, not even this crack hide-and-seek team. But delighted readers will be pointing "There it is!" from the first page.

This absurd, laugh-out-loud picture book for preschoolers is richly illustrated with David Barrow's trademark beautiful use of light and colour and dramatic cityscapes-a guaranteed hit with dinosaur-loving toddlers.

With clues, surprises and humour, this game-inside-a-book celebrates imaginative play and is perfect for sharing with children who will love being better at finding the dinosaur than their adult reader.

"This is a very satisfying follow-up to Have You Seen Elephant? that fully engages preschool readers who love to find the surprises, clues and humour in the illustrations" Julia Marshall, Publisher
