Description

Come out, come out, wherever you are! A monstrously sweet lift-the-flap book from the acclaimed creator of Gustavo, the Shy Ghost is perfect for Halloween—or any day.

Buster and Gustavo
are playing hide-and-seek.
On the count of five . . .
Buster will hide!

One, two, three, four, five! Buster, are you hiding behind the plant pots? No, it’s Jack O’Lantern, watering his mandrakes! Are you hiding under the bed? No, it’s Max the monster, looking for his lost yellow sock! Kids will happily lift the flaps to peek in the window, look in the shower, open the closet, or spy in the fridge and be surprised by friendly characters going about their day. With a fun interactive element and bright, cheery illustrations, Flavia Z. Drago weaves in cameos by characters from prior books to make this a memorable game of hide-and-seek for old fans and new friends.

About the Author

Flavia Z. Drago was born and raised in Mexico City. As a child, she wanted to be a mermaid. When that didn’t happen, she began her career as a graphic designer and a children’s book illustrator. The author-illustrator of Gustavo, the Shy Ghost; Leila, the Perfect Witch; and Vlad, the Fabulous Vampire, she loves color, textures, and shapes and enjoys creating them with different materials and a bit of digital sorcery. Flavia Z. Drago lives in Mexico.

Praise for Monsters Play... Hide-and-Seek! (The World of Gustavo)

Lighthearted. . . . Drago’s mixed-media illustrations are vibrantly warm, dominated by goldenrod yellow and marigold orange. Subtle decor elements enhance the haunted atmosphere. . . . An entertaining rollick with Drago’s cast of chummy characters, this lift-the-flap board book is a treat to enjoy at Halloween or year-round.
