Hide and Seek in History

Mixing Richard Scarry-type animals with Where's Waldo-type crowds, each from a different era in history, this book includes small bites of history on each page. We go to ancient Egypt, Elizabethan England, and six other particularly picturesque eras to discover plenty of timely props and costumes. At the outset, we're presented with objects to find in each picture and a trio of mischievous scavengers to help guarantee success. In all, the book is a sweet introduction to the idea of differentness in different times, backed up by caption factoids and funny illustrations. (For the younger set, ages 4 and up)
