Gilbert the Great Hider
by Lyn RosePublish: Nov 03, 2026 Children'sBook Overview
Gilbert thinks he's the greatest hide-and-seek player on the farm. The other animals aren't so sure.He hides behind a fence post. The chickens find him immediately. He hides in the flowers, with the cows, in the wheelbarrow and in the haystack, and every time somebody finds him. Even the pig, who wasn't even playing.
Then a very tired little goat curls up in an old bucket for a rest… and suddenly nobody can find him at all.
Gilbert the Great Hider is a funny, warm-hearted picture book about trying your best, never giving up, and how nice it feels to know someone is looking for you. With bright, joyful illustrations and a giggle on every page, it's perfect for reading aloud at bedtime, in the classroom or on the farm.
Written and illustrated by Australian author Lyn Rose.
