Where would the family library be without Spot the Dog's fun adventures? Eric Hill's pup is a true classic of pre-school literature. In this, the very first in the well-established series of Spot adventures Where's Spot?introduces the lively little puppy and his playful world as Spot's mum Sally searches around the house for her cheeky little pup, with the young reader playing out the game of hide-and-seek by lifting the flaps on every page--a classic book format that children from one to four will adore.
Small children just can't get enough of Spot and the fun continues in his many other adventures Spot Goes to the Farm, Spot Bakes a Cake and Spot Goes on Holiday If you're looking for an introduction to Spot, this book is a great place to start; if you've moved onto to other Spot adventure, this is fun to go back to. (Ages 1to 4 years) --Victoria MacKenzie --This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title.
About the Author
Eric Hill was born in North London and lived there for many years. He started his artistic career as an art studio messenger and from there went on to become a cartoonist and eventually an art director at a leading advertising agency. In 1978 Eric made up a story about a small puppy to read to his son at bedtime and Spot was born. The success of his first bestselling lift-the-flap classic 'Where's Spot?' in 1980 convinced him to become a full-time author. Eric currently resides in France.

My daughter loves "Where's Spot?" "Spot" was one of her first words and when she was able to walk saying "Where's Spot?" was a way to have her bring you the book. Apparently, there is something wonderful about Spot. Check it out.

I dunno. For as long as Spot has existed, children have loved him. And honestly? I really couldn't tell you why. I've nothing against Spot, really. I've nothing for him either, and herein lies the problem. Spot is a bland "Ziggy"-like creation. The books that present him are neither particularly interesting, witty, or sublime to the average adult reader. Critics would argue that this is precisely the point and that children don't need the same kinds of books as adults. I remain unconvinced and point out that when there are such marvelous and simple children's books as "Olivia" or "Rosie's Walk" or "Gossie and Gertie" for kids today, why turn around and pick up the fine but dull "Where's Spot?"? One has to wonder.
In this book, Sally (perhaps the parent of the elusive puppy) is searching for the book's title character. As she runs around the house the viewer is able to open doors, lift bed curtains, and pry into the cabinets that Sally spies as well. Behind each, a different animal (or animals) stands there saying, "No" when asked if Spot is hiding there. I'll hand this to the creator. The 1994 edition I was handling held up very very well over the years. This book has been constructed with tough pages that little one's hands are adept at opening without the rippage usually so common. The animals are cute and the parents can maybe name them with their kids as they go. Just the same, don't be surprised if the crocodile under the bed gives a couple squeamish children the creeps for a while.
In conclusion...eh. It's not bad, it's not good, it's not much of anything. It doesn't teach and if it entertains then that's fine. If you've a tender place in your heart for the other books in the Spot series, go wild. This book will certainly live up to expectations. If, however, your expectations are built on such solid kid-friendly yet really amusing stand-bys as "Sesame Street" or other witty genres, prepare to be disappointed. While a fine story, it leaves much to be desired.
