My original post asked for suggestions of picture books that contain hidden
pictures. The request was inspired by a previous post about the hidden
pictures in the book Snowmen at Night. As usual, the LMNET crowd was prompt and
generous in their replies. Thank you to everyone who responded. Below please find
the hit:
Nancy Keane's terrific website has its own list:

SOME SMUG SLUG by Edwards, Pamela Duncan
Phoebe Gilman books all have a picture of the Balloon Tree in each of the
books that followed.http://www.phoebegilman.com/books.html. The Balloon Tree
was her first book.
Audrey Wood/Don Wood. They have a picture of their son somewhere in each of
their books.

In the Napping house look for the flea that is in a different location on
each of the page spreads.
Round trip and Reflections by Ann Jonas are fun.
The Sultan's Snakes by Turpin
It's a Spoon, not a Shovel by Caralyn Buehner ...it's a book about manners
that has a question on each page with multiple choice answers (it reads much
like a picture book). The answer is always hidden inside the picture.
And the Dish Ran Away with the Spoon by Susan Stevens Crummel. There are 17
forks hidden through out the book.
Santa's Twin by Dean Koontz has hidden pictures and clues in it.
How about Dinosaur Island by Max Haynes and Where's Wallace by Knight
(hidden monkey)
Most of the Marc Brown Arthur books have his children's names hidden in the
pictures. Look for Tolon, Tucker, and Eliza. Laurie is his wife and I've seen
her name too.
"Each Peach Pear Plum" by Ahlberg
Some of Jerry Pallotta's alphabet books that are illustrated by Ralph
Masiello have pictures hidden in them.
Grahame Base's artwork in Animalia has him hidden in every spread.
All of the Little Critter books by Mercer Mayer have a mouse and a
grasshopper hidden on each page, and there is a mouse to look for on all the pages
of
Goodnight Moon. Also, I believe Chris Van Allsburg puts his dog in each of
his books?
Hope this is helpful.
My favorite is The Eleventh Hour by Graeme Base – hidden mice, secret codes,
math and literature, beautiful illustrations – a definite must!
Ed Young’s books also have “hidden pictures” (wolf on almost every page of
Lon Po Po and some fish in Yeh-Shen).
Hedgie is hidden in every Jan Brett book.
I am going to read Jan Brett's Daisy Comes Home to my classes tomorrow, and
I was on her website tonight. On one page of the website I saw that she has
mountains (in the pictures of Daisy) with animal shapes in/on them. There are
supposed to be 15 animals in the mountains. Maybe your kids who loved the
snowmen will like to search for the animals.
Thanks again.
