Thank you so much to the publisher, Flatiron Books and Macmillan Audio, for providing me with copies to read and review. Each new revelation made me laugh, but not in a good way. The author did not intend it to be funny.

Perfect for ages zero to three, this is a playful, oversized seek and find board book. From the bedroom to the bathroom to outside on a busy street and gas station, your littles will get to look for one or more items such as 3 trash cans, 7 green bugs, and 1 potted plant. The updated Richard Scarry picture books are wonderful choices to share with the little readers on your lap. Additionally, Mallory feels like Teddy's imaginary friend, Anya, may be the missing woman in question and she clearly is trying to communicate with them. I really enjoyed Mallory as a character. I feel like she was super likable and relatable. I loved the sinister vibe, even though I wasn't 100% on what I should be afraid of at first. My kids love this search-and-find book showing Bigfoot around the world. So do I — it’s an added bonus to learn more about famous world cities.How hard can it be to entertain a five-year-old? She thinks it will be easy - except Teddy begins drawing very disturbing pictures. Intrigued, Mallory attempts to decipher the pictures and gets help from the groundkeeper and a neighbor with an unusual gift. And yes, I have struggled with lapses and false memories and all the other psychological fallout of drug addiction. A funny narrator battles the independent-thinking characters who have their own ideas about how the story should go. But first, can you find Gordon? When Gordon doesn’t hide very well, the narrator decides to find someone else to look for — but his new target, Jane, the construction worker, is shy so she runs away. Goofy adventures and fun characters make this the most hilarious seek-and-find book you’ll ever read with themes of consent and allyship. Those who love this book and are telling me in the comments of this review (and many others) that this is proof that trans kids are being forced into it by their parents just prove my point. We ALL agree that forcing kids to live as someone they're not is wrong. That's why we should be supporting children in their exploration of their sexuality and gender, giving them a safe space to figure out who they are, and loving them unconditionally. Yes, even if it turns out that they're trans.

None of us have been a big fan of Where’s Waldo because the size of the words and illustrations is SO very small. At least the books that we owned. This book is a house of cards, built upon flimsy right-wing dog whistles, hoping no one puts together the pieces to realize just how hateful it is. But when I gave the hidden picture Waldo books to my daughter’s therapist for her waiting room, she told me that teens and adults loved them. Go figure! Apparently, there’s a search-and-find book for everyone and… every age. Best Seek and Find BooksHelp your toddler and preschooler identify numbers with this exciting I Spy book search and find book about counting and numbers. We highly recommend it. Walrus and Penguin escape from the zoo and wander the city. Can you find them? Together they have many fun adventures and Walrus even finds love! Seek and find with excellent opportunities to pay close attention to detail in the illustrations. La novela tiene alguna cosilla que sí te provoca levantar las cejas, pero no de espanto, precisamente. Lo del padre de Teddy con Mallory creo que sobra, pero es mi opinión.

Overall, I really loved Rekulak’s writing. He is a great storyteller and I am looking forward to reading more from him. She's not proud of the choices she made in the depths of her addiction, some having life-long repercussions. Mallory harbors a lot of guilt from that time.You might wonder why a rich couple (Caroline and Ted) might be interested in hiring a young drug addict to look after their kid, but Caroline works in the medical field and is keen to give Mallory a second chance, but her husband is more reluctant. Mallory loves Teddy and the summer house she is given to live in is perfect and initially everything goes like a dream. In the evenings, Mallory goes on long runs. She meets a nice guy and feels she has the perfect opportunity to rebuild her life and perhaps come to terms with the skeletons lurking in her closet. She also stops attending Narcotics Anonymous meetings but keeps in touch with her sponsor (like a counsellor) by phone and the odd meeting. Not only is this book painting the LUDICROUS idea that any trans child is being forced to be so by their *woke leftist* parents as legitimate, validating this hateful idea that erases the experiences of trans kids who have healthy and open relationships with their parents and are given the freedom to be themselves, but it's whipping up fear in its target demographic, giving them yet another reason to be openly transphobic. Pues me ha gustado bastante esta novela. En realidad, aunque se anuncia como “de miedo”, de eso tiene poco. Lo que sí le concedo es que va creando una atmósfera intimidatoria que, por momentos, hará que se te ericen los pelos de la nuca. Pero son pocos momentos en los que eso ocurre. Y uno de los grandes alicientes de esta novela son los dibujos. Los inocentes dibujos de Teddy van pasando de simples palotes infantiles a grabados de total realismo casi tridimensional en cuestión de pocos días. Y lo que muestran es de veras muy inquietante. Para mí el mayor acierto de toda la obra. Que incluya dichos dibujos, y además desordenados al principio, le da el morbo necesario para hacer que el lector se inquiete con lo que pueden representar. Y además ¡son preciosos! Mallory is relieved to have a place to stay and a job that pays well enough for her to save money for her future plans. However, strange scratching sounds coming from the guest house in the middle of the night and the eerie sensation of being watched leave her restless. When she discovers that a woman may have been killed in that very guest house, her anxiety reaches new heights. After Catherine injects Mallory with heroin to stage an OD but wait! it was baking soda (don't get me started even more lmao) and Ted Sr comes in and Mallory has the gall to ask him "why are you so afraid of catherine" miss Mallory lmfao PLZ MAAM I WANT YOU TO TRY HARDER
