An older toddler (1-3 years) will start to anticipate the reveals, name the animals, make animal sounds, and work the flaps independently, actively participating in the game.
Unlike many cartoon-style lift-the-flap books, this DK title uses high-quality, crisp photography of real baby animals. This grounds the learning experience in reality and appeals to a baby's fascination with faces and real-world objects. The book’s exceptionally sturdy construction is also a key feature, designed to withstand enthusiastic toddler handling.
This is a simple, interactive lift-the-flap board book. On each two-page spread, a question prompts the reader to guess which baby animal is hiding behind a large, sturdy flap (for example, behind a ball of yarn or some reeds). Lifting the flap reveals a high-quality photograph of the baby animal. The book features common animals like puppies, kittens, chicks, and ducklings, making it a straightforward concept book centered on a game of peekaboo.
