One morning a mother saw a strange bundle under the blankets in her bed. "What is it?" she said to herself. "What can it be?"
So begins Ruth Krauss's charming story of a mother and child playing hide-and-seek. Baby hides beneath the blanket, and Mother tries, again and again, to guess what in the world the bundle could be.
"Can it be a bundle of laundry... a bundle of carrots...a monkey? Young readers will delight in this familiar game and its satisfying ending.
Ruth Krauss's celebration of the wonderful moments between a mother and her child are brought to life by Julia Noonan's soft and playful artwork, making this a perfect story for all parents and young children to share.
