Sam Taplin grew up in a beautiful valley in Yorkshire, where he dreamed of being a writer, and after three years reading other people's books at university he started writing his own for Usborne. He's been doing it ever since. When he's not writing about lonely rabbits or inquisitive bears, he likes doing card tricks, writing songs and playing long games of chess by the fire.

This sturdy little hide-and-seek board book is an excellent first reading experience. [...] In fact it's packed with things to look at and things to touch and will help develop both vocabulary and sensory skills.
