School Library Journal - 02/01/2026 PreS-Gr 2—Three friends compete to see who is the best at hide-and-seek in Tabor's latest. When Wally Mammoth asks his friend Wolf to play the game, he finds out that hiding can be hard for some animals but easy for others. After spending the day seeking Wolf, Wally gets help from his friend Otto, a bird, and tricks Wolf into giving away his position. It's a story about perseverance, friendship, and cookies, with a clever science-based solution. Young children will relate to the desire to win, be encouraged not to give up or get grumpy when things get hard, and will cheer at the simple yet brilliant conclusion of the game. Sentences are short and lightly repetitive, which will help emerging readers. Illustrations are done with digital watercolor and provide brightly hued definition and contrast to the wintry world. The characters have a friendly animated appearance with good visual emotion. VERDICT A good book for early readers and for encouraging SEL conversations.—Virginia Pine - Copyright 2026 Publishers Weekly, Library Journal and/or School Library Journal used with permission.
