An exuberant read aloud story about a school trip outdoors with
rhyming word play and madcap energy, starring the quiet observant
Liam. From the awardwinning creators of That’s Not a
Hippopotamus. It’s the class trip to Dismal Hills wilderness. The
children aren’t worried about the legendary Grizzled Grist who
lives here; they’re excited to show off their outdoor
skills—foraging, climbing, trapping and hiking. No one’s
impressed with quiet and observant Liam’s skill of hiding. But it
turns out a hider can see what others think does not exist. A hider
moves with soundless ease and treads as softly as the breeze. At
times, a hider barely breathes—but what is this the hider sees?
Liam spots—and careful readers will too—signs of the Grist on
every spread. When the children and their frazzled teacher walk
confidently into disaster, observant Liam saves the day—a triumph
for the quiet child no one notices. This clever rhyming story for
children aged 2 to 7 years features humor and call and refrain
wordplay that will entertain toddlers, preschoolers and early
readers. Children delight in spotting the elusive Grizzled Grist
and identify with sweet Liam, the quiet but observant boy who no
one listens to. Sarah Davis’s charming and lively illustrations
tell a different story about where Liam and the Grist are hiding on
every page. Perfect for reading together again and again as a
family, in the school classroom or independently, this picture book
features a cast of diverse characters and funny and curious
children. This book is for any child who enjoys a boisterous
read-aloud with spot-the-Grist on every page. It’s also
excellent for schools and groups—equally enjoyed by frazzled
teachers. Funky Kids Radio Global Picture Book of the Year Award
2022 winner.Â
