A sweet A to Z book with a focus on Australian animals, and a little hide and seek. My favorite was the end with all the animals hidden.
I am always amazing by the many unique animals Australia has, and now I have a few more to learn more about!

Thank you NetGalley and Finch Press for accepting my request to read and review Hide and Seek Alphabet.

An adorable interactive alphabet book. Each letter consists of an Australian animal, the sound it makes, and it's habitat. The object is to learn the sounds and find them when they hide. The colors vary from muted to bright throughout the book.

I would gift this specifically for New Years Eve, and explain the time difference in Australia versus the United States, and why Australia sees all New Years first.

Children's alphabet book using animals in Australia. This is beautifully illustrated and written and will be very captivating for the kids and the young at heart. Wonderfully done and very, very enjoyable. Just great.

I thought that this was a really good book!
I loved the mix of animals and the illustrations were great
I liked the fun side with the hidden animals too and plenty in here to prompt a little bit of research on some of the animals too to find out more
It is 5 stars from me for this one – very highly recommended and a fab way to highlight the animals that can be found in Australia – I loved it!

The alphabet and learning goals mixed in with the animals is always a hit, but this one had the little ones laughing and so intrigued due to the fact that they weren't as familiar with some of the Australian animals. Loved it!

Hide and Seek Alphabet by Anna Finch - 5/5

We love all things ABC's and this gives us a chance to go one step further and play hide and seek. The illustrations of the Australian animals were fun and colorful. The hide and seek aspect were fun and got the kids brains working as they tried to find them. All around fun and it was nice learning about different animals.

Thank you NetGalley and Publishers for the ARC.

Thank you Netgalley for allowing me to review this ARK.

I really enjoyed Hide and Seek Alphabet as not it was not the usual A is for Anteater. It has beautiful bright images that the author has incorporated a look and find aspect that was adorable and just plain fun.

Son enjoyed this book especially as it has animals for each letter of the alphabet. Would recommend for Eyfs learning a great visual picture book.

I grew up in Australia so I absolutely adore this book! It was so much fun reading this to my grandkids and telling them about all of these amazing animals. The illustrations were great. The hide and seek aspect was so fun. Great book! Thanks #NetGalley

I love this sweet interactive alphabet book showcasing different Australian animals, the sounds they make, and their habitats. The wee readers can discover the critters unique sounds and then have fun trying to find them as they hide. The illustrator has hidden them in water, trees, and leaves. How fun is that?

Many of the animals are unfamiliar so there is an educational element to this book as well as the fact that all the animals are native to Australia. Kids love learning new facts especially when it comes to the enchanting animal kingdom.

The illustrations are big, bold and beautiful. "Hide and Seek Alphabet: With Australian Animals" is a one-of-a-kind picture book designed to help kids learn A-Z in a delightful way.


The author hopes to thrill, inspire, and reinforce a love of reading in all who pick up her work. This book has checked all the boxes. I highly recommend it!
