ABOUT WHERE IS EVERYONE?
Discover how this celebrated illustrator turns everyday objects inside out in marvelously zany ways in his latest lift-the-flap board book.
A toaster, a refrigerator, a sink, a bed, a car. Most kids can recognize these and other things that are part of their everyday lives. Leave it to Tom Schamp to imagine a different way of seeing them. As kids pore over these brightly colored and highly detailed pictures they’ll be delighted to discover a monkey on a surfboard and an elephant in a bowler hat— all inhabiting the same shapes they recognize in their homes. Each whimsical illustration offers a chance to explore, discuss, and giggle at the unexpected. Every page will encourage kids to think creatively and differently about the world around them and the possibilities that lie hidden in the things we see every day.
The 411:
My class loved this book. We read it three times before lunch today and they can remember which animals are hiding where. Lift the Flap books are so much fun for toddlers. They are Interactive allowing the reader or in this case listeners with short attention spans to listen and wait for their moment to touch the flap. Plus the hidden pictures elicit emotional responses like surprise, excitement, happiness, etc. The class loves being able to get involved with the story by lifting the flap to see what is behind it. Long after they know what’s there, they are still excited by the “surprise”.
