Bookroo's summary

In a vibrant world of hide and seek, Gordon, a purple tapir, refuses to blend in. As the narrator tries to engage him in the game, Gordon's antics turn the classic seek-and-find into a hilarious adventure. Will the narrator manage to get Gordon to play along, or will Gordon's desire to stand out create chaos? This playful, fourth wall-breaking tale invites young readers to explore zany scenes filled with humor and unexpected surprises.

From the publisher

Packed with vibrant and dizzying artwork, this hilarious story cleverly riffs on classic seek-and-find books and will have young ones laughing out loud as the narrator struggles to get the characters to play along. Have you seen Gordon? Oh. There he is. Gordon isn’t very good at hiding, is he? The narrator wants to play hide and seek with Gordon and the reader, but Gordon just wants to stand out. This madcap, fourth wall-breaking picture book is packed with humor and full, zany spreads with details kids will return to again and again.
