Run! is an easy-to-follow yet joyfully tricky story for preschool to grade-two readers, with language arts, reading, counting, and character education curriculum tie-ins. It offers ample opportunity for interaction in spotting visual cues in a light and humorous mystery and in naming animals and their wacky hiding technics throughout a jungle game of hide-and-seek--all the while subverting expectations and imparting the valuable lesson that things are not always what they seem. In the dark depths of the jungle, something is on the hunt and all of the animals have to RUN! One by one, as fast as they can, they look high and low among the vines and trees--and even under the jungle floor--for a place to hide. But will they find one before the count down stops? And just WHO are they running from? In this suspenseful and hilarious game of jungle hide-and-seek, kids will wait with baited breath to find out why everyone is on the run, all the while laughing at the ridiculous hiding spots each animal comes up with. The most delightfully ridiculous surprise of all comes when the scary hunter is revealed to be the smallest and cutest animal in the jungle--a mouse! Ready or not, here he comes! With plenty to discover on every page, Run! offers a source of endless entertainment that will thrill kids on their first read, and continue to induce giggles as they seek out each page's hidden delights for many reads to come. --Publisher
