Will a yellow hardhat point to a new life as a construction worker? Or will a red swimming cap reveal his true talents? Follow this happy-go-lucky runaway and find the surprising answer as he hides amongst firefighters, street painters, businessmen, and even high-stepping dancers!

Stephen Savage's witty and graphically retro illustrations are the perfect embodiment of a wordless picture book rich with layers of visual flair and sly humor (quoted from Goodreads).

My kids and I absolutely love this book! The illustrations are perfect and the color schemes are great for younger readers. What's so unique about this book is that there are no words, it's all illustrations which remind me of the classic illustrations found in Danny the Dinosaur. Where's Walrus engages young readers to find where he's hiding through out the story.

This is one we'll be reading again and again. I highly recommend this book! It's one readers of all ages will enjoy.
