What's in the Box?

This interactive lift-the-flap book is created with chunky tactile board pages. ‘A pile of boxes has arrived… Can you guess what hides inside?’ From the beginning, the reader is encouraged to guess the contents of each box from the rhyming clues given. There’s a smoke-ring blowing dragon, a jiggling monster (in ballet dress), a knitting dinosaur and a disco-dancing unicorn with pink hair, all hidden under thick flaps. The vibrant colours and tactile patches will hold the attention of young readers, and reading it again will encourage prediction and further conversation. The colours are vibrant throughout, and there are tactile clues incorporated on each spread to engage further interaction. The indentation for finger grips on each flap should endure lots of repeated exploration. The final page is a treat: ‘But best of all, just take a look. A treasure trove of brilliant books!’ A great book for sharing with the youngest of readers, and for their subsequent independent exploration.
