PreS-K–CoComelon characters play a game of hide-and-seek in their backyard. The book begins with a list of word families, sight words, and bonus words that appear in the story, allowing children to recognize these words before diving in. JJ and his friends take turns counting, resisting the urge to peek, and then finding their friends. The narrative is conveyed in just a few words, which are repeated each time a different child takes a turn. The concept is extremely simple, making the text perfect for the earliest independent readers. Illustrations, which are stills of the show, will delight CoComelon fans who may recognize familiar scenes. Back matter includes comprehension and thought-provoking questions for readers. While the story line is not particularly engaging, it is ideal for emerging readers, and the repetitive text is sure to build their reading confidence.
VERDICT A solid addition to any collection, especially where CoComelon is popular.
