The hideout, hardcover/susanna mattiangeli

Description Its time to go, but no one can find Hannah Thats because shes in the park with much to do.

She needs to collect caterpillars and sticks, make a bow and arrow, and build a bed out of leaves.

Deep in the shrubs, she sets up a secret hideout for herself and her companion, an Odd Furry Creature.

Together, they hunker down over the campfire, lost in their own little world.

But then a voice cuts through the branches and clearly says, Where are you? Hannah brushes off her paper, and the reader learns that Hannah was lost--not in the woods--but in her drawing.

This dreamlike, lyrical picture book with shades of Where the Wild Things Are illustrates the power of imagination to transport us to new worlds.
