A seek-and-find game with a playful reversal

Axel, an axolotl who excels at hiding, turns a familiar seek-and-find setup into a comic challenge: the narrator tries to make her easier to locate, but Axel and her friends eventually take over the lesson. The book’s detailed scenes invite close looking, while its fourth-wall-breaking premise brings the narrator into the game. Its humor also comes from the shift in who gets to set the rules, giving the search a simple story arc beyond spotting Axel.

Good fit for readers who enjoy

  • Children who enjoy seek-and-find books and searching busy illustrations
  • Young readers who like funny animal characters and playful narrator interactions
  • Families looking for a picture book to revisit and explore together

Book overview

Packed with funny animals and wildly detailed scenes, this laugh-out-loud picture book companion to Have You Seen Gordon? cleverly riffs on classic seek-and-find books with a main character who's a little too good at hiding.

Have you seen Axel the axolotl? Is she taking a dive? Is she performing live? Where the heck is she? Wow, she's pretty good at this game...

Axel the axolotl takes her turn in the spotlight only to prove so good at hiding, she's impossible to find! The narrator of this hilarious seek-and-find story coaches her on how to be seek-able until Axel is done playing. Then it's time for Axel and her friends to be the teachers and set the narrator straight about what is and isn't okay.

This madcap, fourth wall-breaking picture book is full of humor and full, zany spreads with details kids will return to again and again.
