This week we are reading another Beehive picture book nominee, Have You Seen Gordon? by Adam Jay Epstein and Ruth Chan. Gordon is the purple character in the book who is supposed to be hard to find, much like Waldo. But early on, Gordon announces he doesn’t really like this game. He’d rather stand out, not hide. So then we switch to looking for Jane, the blue construction worker in an orange helmet. Except Jane really doesn’t want to be found and runs off the pages as we hunt for her. It’s only when the narrator asks the characters who DOES want to be found that we can do a proper search! This book turns the look and find genre on its head in a clever way. I think kids will love checking this out individually to do all the searches!
