About This Book

With its bold blue cover, this board book edition of Eric Hill’s classic story featuring everyone’s favorite puppy is just as iconic as the first lift-the-flap edition. “Spot is one of the essential experiences of childhood.” —Parents magazine

Our Review

This charming lift-the-flap adventure introduces toddlers to the classic search for a playful puppy hiding somewhere in the house. Young readers will delight in checking behind doors, inside clocks, and under stairs as they develop fine motor skills through interactive page-turning. The simple, repetitive question "Where's Spot?" creates an engaging pattern that encourages early language development and prediction skills. Bright, uncluttered illustrations against white backgrounds help maintain focus for the youngest readers while building visual tracking abilities.

What makes this interactive book particularly effective is how it transforms the familiar childhood game of peek-a-boo into a literary experience that fosters object permanence understanding. The sturdy board book construction and reinforced flaps withstand enthusiastic little hands, making this an ideal first book for babies transitioning from board books to more interactive stories. Parents will appreciate how this early literacy tool builds vocabulary through household items and animal names while keeping children actively engaged in the storytelling process. Generations of children have begun their reading journeys with this timeless hide-and-seek adventure that makes book time into play time.
