The child who thinks of hide-and-seek only as a game in which he closes his eyes and counts to a hundred will find pleasant surprises here. He will discover that hide-and-seek goes on all about him.

People seeking out and hiding in doorways during a thundershower, the policeman hiding a lump of sugar in his pocket and his horse seeking it out, goldfish darting in and out of their stone castle. Wonderful vintage 1950's illustrations in black and white.
