"Where's Walrus?" by Stephen Savage 2011 / 32 p.

A witty play on the title and theme of the popular "Where's Waldo?", this charming wordless picture book is full of humor and fun as the walrus from the city zoo makes his big escape! Kids will love finding the walrus on each page as he manages to foil the zookeeper at each stop in their chase through the big city. The book ends with the walrus performing a fantastic feat, giving the zookeeper a brilliant idea to attract visitors to the zoo and saving walrus from his potential wrath.

This is the kind of picture book that parents, teachers, and librarians love because it encourages audience interaction and participation in telling the story and deciphering what all is going on. Kids will love its silliness and the fact that walrus avoids getting in trouble! The illustrations are bold and graphic with a retro look about them. One of my newest faves in children's department!
