Is This a Sack of Potatoes? by Dragonwagon Crescent

by Crescent Dragonwagon

To small children playing hide-and-seek, imagination is Everything! Capturing the innocent delights of childhood, this engaging bedtime story finds Charlie "hidden" under bed covers. Silly Mommy just can't seem to find him though she does wonder aloud what the lump in his bed could be. "A sack of potatoes or a ton of tomatoes, perhaps; a pound of pears or maybe even a cave of bears!" To further the overall enjoyment, soft-toned illustrations include flaps under which children will find Charlie as he appears hiding in his bed, though seemingly on the adventure of a lifetime.
