Flapless in Seattle

Reviewed in Canada on March 17, 2003

When my son was about 8 months old, I picked this book up ... to keep him occupied. He just loved it -- and still does. The spine is now pretty chewed up from all the "love" it got during teething. However, at 23-months, he still loves to read this book -- even though he removed 7 out of 12 the flaps some months ago.
Aside from the fun of flap-lifting (and ultimately, flap-tearing), we have fun reading it together pointing to and counting the items on each page: 7 eggs, 4 boats, 5 lily pads, etc. It's also great for talking about colors and 'big and small'.
I just wish there was a way to make the flaps rip-proof!

keeps Toddlers amused and entertained!

This little book, looks at first like any "lift" the flap book, but the cute illustrations, and surpising "finds" under the flaps really worked for all my toddlers (5).
They get the biggest kick out of looking under a "rock" to find some interesting bug or reptile!
The only trouble is now, out in the garden, we have to lift the rocks and logs to look for worms and other "pets"
This is an inexpensive gem to keep kids amused for a little while.

My one-year-old daughter adores this! The flaps are easy for her to handle, and sturdy enough to stand up to repeated mauling. Of her dozens of books, this is probably the all-time champ. And the art is clever \and full of details, so it isn't unbearable for Mommy to read it again ... and again ... and again ...

My 18 month old daughter likes flap books alot, and this one is one of the cutest I've seen. It's not just about bugs, there are other cute things hiding under the flaps too. She especially likes the hippo and it's teeth, as well as the banana and the monkey. This book has definitely helped her with her vocabulary because she says "teee" (teeth), and "nana" (banana) all the time now.

Very poor condition, the spine was torn

Very poor condition, the spine was torn, back cover obviously been bent in two places, one of the lift up flaps was missing - and it smells! I've bought better at car boot sales, and I wouldn't want this book for free. To anyone reading this - buy new!!

My toddler and I love these little lift the flap chunky books

Reviewed in the United States on February 18, 2015

My toddler and I love these little lift the flap chunky books! This one is not as amusing as "Open the Barn Door" by the same author, but it still entertains my toddler and I love that it is the perfect size for small hands (and doesn't contribute any more weight to my always heavy diaper bag!)

LOVE chunky flap books

Perfectly sized for a purse and small thick flaps mean it's harder for them to rip them off. LOVE chunky flap books.

These chunky flap books are great! During Church they are my best friend- keeps my kid quiet and occupied for 10-15 minutes at a time, which with my little squirmer is a miracle.
