With the help of a series of notes, he finds them, and they reveal that they were playing Hide and Seek. I personally would use it as a topic book for whole class use, and perhaps be able to use it within guided reading for the lower ability groups to take a closer look and discuss it further. One night they decide to run away from the main character, who is not quite sure what is going on, as he think that all the toys have gotten lost.

This book would be used in Key Stage One, and could easily be used as a topic book, as it is accessible across the curriculum for a number of different tasks. The roguery and playfulness of children is brought to the fore and the story is engaging as ignites one's inner-creativity and imagination. The illustrations and names of the toys could be useful in a phonics lesson as alliteration is used by Lucas regularly and the fun aspect of the story would bring enjoyment to the learning experience.The children will consider the significance of the title of the book and they will make ‘wonderings’ about what might get lost. They story contains a number of questions, which could then be directed at the children to assess their comprehension of the plot, and what predictions they might make to the story’s progression. I think it is a very suitable book for primary school children in East London as it’s based on the author’s memories from Bethnal Green, that alone I would imagine would be of interest to children. It would also be suitable for EAL students as the illustrations throughout are fantastic and would help bridge any gaps or misconceptions in the written text.
