Review
Pretty much, any book that Sebastien Braun does is good. And this one is no exception. Part of the "Can You Say it, Too?" series of lift the flap board books, this title has sturdy, big, recessed flaps. That being said, life the flap books don't have a long shelf life on library shelves. But the sturdiness of this one may make it last a bit longer. The illustrations were created digitally. They are bright and happy. They depict a variety of springtime animals guessing who is making noises under the flap. And it is always the baby version of that particular animal. Chicken wonders who is under the flowers. Cheep! Cheep!, it's a baby chick. And so on. There is no story here. Just five different animals discovering their mini-me's under flaps. It is a simply written and nicely illustrated springtime, or anytime, book. It could also work well as a new beginning reader, with accessible and simple words and only one sentence per page. A worthy purchase for any board book collection and where other books in this sweet series are popular.
