Percy the park keeper and his animal friends are playing hide-and-seek in the park.

Is there anything his friends can do to help?

A bit made me laugh when the fox answered no one is in here it's definitely not me. He gave it away. I liked the fox Best? He should not have called on the shelf in Percy's shed because Percy told him not to go in there.

This was fiction. The book was about the fox who was hiding from Percy and he got his foot stuck in a spring and then he got stuck in a tree. His bottom got stuck and all the animals and Percy had to get him out

Brilliant author. Fabulous colourful pictures. Good story line and nicely written for quite time. Percy the park keeper was definitely out favourite character. Would recommend the book but not a must read in our opinion. Would try another book in the same collection for another try on the collection.

I thought it was good. The hedgehog was my favourite character because it looks cheeky. I also liked the rabbits because they look cheeky too. I liked the squirrel too because it looked happy. I would recommend this book because it is funny.
