One of my favorite books to read with our granddaughter is “Have You Seen Elephant?” by David Barrow. The elephant is really good at playing Hide ‘n Seek, just like this one is!

Kids do such cute things. When mine were little I was so busy I didn't have enough time to relish all of those special moments. The grandchildren were/are pure joy.
