TREASURE HUNT. written by Allan Ahlberg and illustrated by Gillian Tyler. (Walker Books, 9.99)
This is a tightly-focused story about hiding treasure. The treasure ranges from the little girl Tilly's banana at breakfast time, to her white cat, which hides itself in the winter snow. The small illustrations slot in neatly as each hide-and-seek scenario unfolds, and there's a nice variety of pace when Tilly is hunting for the gold-wrapped coins her grandma has hidden.
The final hide-and-seek game is one where Tilly hides behind the curtains, and her parents are looking everywhere for her, until they are standing in front of the curtains wondering where on earth she can be. The story ends with a nice big hug from mum and dad for their own special treasure, Tilly.
