Animals Hide by Chronicle Books

Hide-and-seek is a foundational game of childhood — and this beautifully illustrated nonfiction board book takes that beloved concept into the natural world. Animals Hide introduces toddlers to the fascinating science of camouflage, featuring six animals that are masters at blending into their surroundings.

Learning Through Play

Young readers are invited to search for hidden animals on each page, then try hiding themselves — making this an interactive read-aloud that builds observation skills, nature curiosity, and early science thinking. It's the perfect bridge between peekaboo and a genuine love of the natural world.

David ★★★★★

My two-year-old squeals every time we turn to the page where the owl blends into the tree bark. The illustrations are gorgeous and the nonfiction bits about camouflage are simple enough for him to follow.

Alexander X. ★★★★★

The lift-the-flap pages are sturdy enough to survive my two-year-old's enthusiastic grabbing, which is saying something. The illustrations of camouflaged animals led to a surprisingly long game of spotting hidden creatures together.

Isabella C. ★★★★★

My toddler asks for this one every single night now, and the nonfiction twist on a classic game keeps her guessing. The board pages are sturdy enough to survive her enthusiastic page-turning, and she loves lifting each flap to discover the animal hiding underneath.
