Do you have a wallflower in your family? (I was a shy child for a long time.) Desmond likes to disappear.
Alfred A Knopf Books sent me a copy of this children's picture book for review. It's for ages 5-8 and is currently available at your local bookstore.
Desmond is a cat, and young readers will have a good time finding him in the illustrations as he hides. The illustrations are simple and colorful and lend a charm to the story line.
Invisible Desmond develops a problem, though. He might be able to hide from the class and his teacher, but the new bunny who has joined the class, Gloria, can see him! She's super outgoing and has an exuberant personality - and always says, "Hi, Desmond." What's he to do now???
Set your little one on your lap and share this picture book with them. They'll want to look the pages over again and again, finding Desmond. And they'll smile as Gloria finds him, too.
