About the author
Rachel Coverdale
9 books9 followersRachel Coverdale was born and bred in the beautiful North Yorkshire countryside in North East England. Raised with copious amounts of animals but without the distraction of a modern TV set, she turned to books and her own imagination for entertainment. Animals were and still are a huge part of her life and inevitably they made their way into her stories. Believing strongly in fresh air, nature and outdoor play to give children a sense of fun and freedom, Rachel uses her books to encourage children to connect with nature and venture into the countryside.
Having taught as an English teacher for many years and now settled happily into the role of school librarian, Rachel ensures all her books are not only creative, imaginative and exciting, but also of great educational benefit. Teaching resources and a scheme of work are available for "The Boy Who Couldn't".
Rachel is regularly featured on BBC Radio Tees Book Hour discussing and reviewing her latest reads. She also travels her native North East England paying visits to Primary and Secondary schools, giving talks on her books and about the importance of nature and the environment they live in.

An invitation to guess just what animal is hiding in the pen, in the hay, in the reeds or any other number of places around the farm.
Written in verse and colourfully illustrated, Who Hides Here? Footprints On The Farm is suitable for the youngest of children who will doubtlessly love the beautifully drawn animals right through to slightly older children who having read/been read the clues get to turn the pages to reveal just which animal has been hiding and what noises they make.
As fun as it is educational. I love that the book also includes some activities that encourage children to revisit the story by, for example, getting them to spot Sammy Snail who has photo-bombed every picture throughout ... something I myself hadn't noticed at first reading but enjoyed spotting thereafter.

What a fabulous read. I sat with my grandson and we had a lovely time reading this.
Who is hiding on the farm? This book takes us on a delightful journey meeting the different animals.
The illustrations are delightful and we found ourselves talking about the different pictures.
What a pure delight when we got to towards the end and we saw some activities we could do together.
A great story to read along with your little one.

The Who Hides Here series by Author Rachel Coverdale are a perfect introduction to tracking for very small children, with great characterisations and simple and understandable dialogue. A fantastic plot for any young child that moves at a satisfactory pace, accompanied by brilliant and colourful illustrations that really bring the text to life. I loved it, and little readers will definitely enjoy and take an interest in.
I award this series 5 stars.

This is such a great book and really stands out from other books about animals. The clues for each animal are very well thought through, and the choice of synonyms for 'said' are so apt for each creature. The activities in the back are a clever addition, especially the snail one - I won't ruin the surprise for you! A totally engaging book for little ones.
