Lift-the-flap books have been a very popular format for books for the very littlies for decades simple because they work so well at engaging them through their physical interactivity.  These two new publications in this series featuring topics that young children love  (others are Dinosaurs and Fairy)  continue this tradition of building anticipation by having to find what’s hidden.  With each page containing a number of flaps to lift and the text posed as a question they can also start the child on the road to making predictions about what will be discovered and thus encouraging them to take risks in a safe environment.  Using the clues in the bright illustrations and asking them what they think might be under the flap, they discover the fun of being right but also learn to cope if their prediction is not spot on.  All are big-picture concepts that will help develop an understanding of and a delight in print and story.  

Perfect for starting our earliest readers on their new adventures, perhaps even for those a little older who are learning English as another language and needing to build schemata about topics popular with their classmates.
