Pip and Posy In the Garden
Pip and Posy At the Seaside
Axel Scheffler
Nosy Crow

Best friends Pip (rabbit) and Posy (mouse) takes turns to play hide-and-seek. In the Garden has Pip doing the hiding and Posy searching in various places, first the shed, then up the tree, behind the space hopper and in the vegetable patch. None of these are her friend’s hiding place, although a variety of smaller creatures are revealed when he brightly coloured flaps are opened. But who does that pair of ears poking up above the top of the bush belong to?

On and around the beach provide possible places for Posy to hide herself At the Seaside. Maybe she went behind the lighthouse. No! Perhaps under the umbrella – err sorry, mind the pincers though Pip. Nor is Posy making a purchase at the ice-cream shop. Could that ice-cream Pip is enjoying help him discover her whereabouts and you never know she might have been joined by another of their pals.

The simple repeat pattern text, Axel Scheffler’s delightfully detailed pictures of the friends at play and the hidden surprise endings work perfectly with little humans who will enjoy participating in the fun of the two searches.
