Book Overview

by Adam Jay Epstein (Author), Ruth Chan (Illustrator)

Packed with funny animals and wildly detailed scenes, this laugh-out-loud picture book companion to Have You Seen Gordon? cleverly riffs on classic seek-and-find books with a main character who's a little too good at hiding.

Have you seen Axel the axolotl? Is she taking a dive? Is she performing live? Where the heck is she? Wow, she's pretty good at this game...

Axel the axolotl takes her turn in the spotlight only to prove so good at hiding, she's impossible to find! The narrator of this hilarious seek-and-find story coaches her on how to be seek-able until Axel is done playing. Then it's time for Axel and her friends to be the teachers and set the narrator straight about what is and isn't okay.

This madcap, fourth wall-breaking picture book is full of humor and full, zany spreads with details kids will return to again and again.
