Dog Can Hide by Laura Gehl

“Dog Can Hide” by Laura Gehl is part of the Ready-to-Read series. Each Ready-to-Read story contains about 100 words and features sight words, rhyming words, and repetition to help children reinforce their new reading skills.

The story is about three animal friends Cat, Dog, and Frog playing a game of  hide-and seek. The mischievous dog shows just how well he can hide in various settings, much to the amusement of children. The simple yet clever rhymes and predictable text make it an ideal choice for early readers.

Fred Blunt’s whimsical illustrations perfectly capture the dog’s antics and the surprised reactions of the characters around him. The book not only entertains but also encourages critical thinking as children try to predict where the dog will hide next. With its engaging storyline and vibrant artwork, “Dog Can Hide” is a great addition to an elementary school library.
