Where's Spot?

"Where's Spot?" is a cute lift the flap book with a mother dog, Sally, looking for her puppy, Spot. It's dinner time and Spot hasn't eaten. Where can he be? Is he under the stair, behind the door, in the piano, or somewhere else? Well, maybe not, but based on the animals Mama finds there, a zoo

must be missing a lot of animals who have found cozy hideaways in Spot's house.

Spot's mother doesn't know where spot is, so she sets off through the house to find him. She looks behind every door, in every closet, and under every bed, but finds other animals instead. Finally she finds spot in a basket. A fun interactive book.

This book is only in Spanish, but because of it's simplicity would be easy to translate quiclky to Enlgish. Spot esta en la cesta? que es la cesta? como se dice? You can point to the pictures in the book and ask students how to say them in English.

The bestselling puppy is better than ever. Spot's 25th birthday presents are bold, beautiful color covers that give him a great new look. Enjoy Spot in paperback with full-color covers and traditional Lift-the-Flap features. Have more fun with Spot!

I've read this book more times than I can count with my children. I honestly don't remember when the first time was.

LibraryThing member Fjola

We sort of just got this one to know what all the fuss was about. The classic lift-the-flap book! It will surely be a hit with your infant.

LibraryThing member mayalanda

This is a fantastic book with instant appeal to a 15 month old. I think this book is often passed over now because it doesn't come in board book format. But it is great and interactive.

Where’s Spot?
By: Eric Hill (2003)

I liked Where’s Spot by Eric Hill for four reasons. First, I liked the flaps throughout the book. Specifically, the flaps keep readers engaged. Children love to open the flaps in the book. It is almost like peek-a-boo. Second, I liked the big, black font

displayed in the book. The font appeals to young children, is legible, and affective for beginning readers. Third, I liked how Eric Hill, through his writing, interacts with his readers. For example, he asks questions like, “Is he behind the door?” Thus, Hill gives his readers the ability to respond, and to be curious. Lastly, I liked how other animals are introduced within the book. By exposing beginning readers to photos of animals, they will begin to recognize these animals in real-life situations. Overall, the “big idea” of Where’s Spot is to emphasize the significance of interactive texts. Readers can participate throughout the playful story, and enjoy its humor as well.

In my opinion, this is a good children’s book! I liked this book because of its format. The book is in question/answer format. On each page, Spots mother asks if Spot is in a specific place. “Is he in the box?” On the next page, you see a box with an answer inside. Not knowing what the answer

is right away keeps the child engaged in reading it and excited to find out if Spot is there or not! Next, I liked this book because of the way it is organized/designed. On each page there is a flap that you need to open in order to see if Spot is there or not. When you open or lift the flap up, an animal is there to tell you yes or no. For instance, when you look in the closet to see if Spot is there, there is a monkey hanging from the clothing bar saying “no”. The big idea in Where’s Spot is to keep the readers engaged and interested in reading the joyful story while journeying to find Spot!

In this story, Spot the curious little puppy is on an adventure. The pictures are simple and provide lift up flaps.

LibraryThing member LibrarianRyan

While I have read many spot books in my lifetime, I am not sure I have ever read the original Spot book. It is lovely to find a university library that has an original copy in almost pristine condition. It’s a lovely short lift the flap story that has stood the test of time and will continue to

live on into the future.

I give this as a gift a lot. Simple fun of lifting flaps and getting surprised, even when you know the story backwards and forwards.

LibraryThing member bmanglass

Not my first time reading (longtime Spot fan), but I was today years old when I learned that this was the FIRST lift-the-flap book for kids. One of those things that you just don't think about being invented!

LibraryThing member dchaves

The kids like this book. We really enjoyed reading it together when they were younger. Its fun to play hide-and-seek, but it promoted the game in the shopping mall and it was very scary for me. So we had to establish house-only rules for hide-and-seek.

LibraryThing member norabelle414

Spot didn’t eat his dinner, so his mom goes looking for him. She looks in and under various places, finding other animals, until she finally finds where Spot is hiding.

Very cute and fun. The flaps are well-made and don’t tear. There’s a good variety of animals, not just the typical ones.My

niece loves that she gets to yell “NO!” every time she opens a door, and making me do the animal noises.
