Almost nothing? With a title like this, there's just got to be something in this book--and kids, of course, will wise up to that pretty quickly. What follows are dozens of colorful little people suited up in wacky outfits and trying desperately to hide anywhere they can--behind foldup flaps, on spinning wheels, hanging on the creases, and all along the seams in between pages. Whether they're round and fat or tall and thin, these pop-up and pop-out elves seem to be having all sorts of fun wreaking havoc with their home, flying through the air or spinning out on roller skates: "Pages can be boring: Too straight and square and flat. So sometimes we'll go SNIP! And make them wiggly--just like that!"

This book's secrets won't stay secret long, but The Big White Book should provide an entertaining hunt at least the first few times through. (Baby to preschool) --Paul Hughes
