Oversize Lift the Flap?



Out of Sight
Pittau and Gervais


This would make a great storytime book for older preschoolers about animals.  It is an oversized lift the flap book.  The first page set has four white animal shapes on black background.  When you lift the flap you read a fact about that animal.  The next page set has white background with a black image of a unique animal body part.  When you lift the flap you see what animal it belongs to and you can read a fact or two about it.  The next page set has 10 different flaps that have animal hides or skin on them.  When you lift the flap you see what animal it belongs to.  Under these flaps are pop up animals and a few have some interesting facts as well.  The next page set shows animal feet and noses.  Can you guess the animal? It's trickier than you think.  The next page set is similar showing animal tails and eyes. The next page set shows animal ears and the last page set shows animal tracks.  I could see children having fun guessing what animal is under the flaps.  I sure did!
