Кто прячется под цветами?

by Yusuke Yonezu, Юсуке Ёнедзу, Asya Petrova (Translator)

Familiar flowers become surprising creatures with the help of lively lift-the-flaps

 

Blossoms turn into animals with the lift of a flap in this fun board book. Young readers are encouraged to use their imaginations to guess what animal will be revealed. A tulip becomes a yellow cat; a white daisy turns into a sheep. What will become of a cherry blossom, a dandelion, and a pansy? Children will enjoy brainstorming to guess each surprise.

In this book, kids are introduced to a variety of flowers through cute simple pictures. Each time, they're asked to "lift the flap," which turns the flower into an animal--a daisy becomes a fluffy sheep, and dandelion becomes a lion. I always love books that are interactive like this, and usually I would say it's a great way to get kids to make predictions. My only criticism is that I wish there was more of a semantic or syntactic connection between the flowers and what's behind the flap...the only thing connecting them is a a similarity in the way the two objects look (daisies and sheep are both white and have round lines). That's a very minor criticism, though.

Also, the repetition is nice and can be a good way to build kids' confidence. I would also use this book to practice book handling skills.

This is a perfect example of what a very beginning board book should be. It is colorful, basic in its concepts, and physically engages the young child by having a lift the flap to find and answer. The text is a question regarding flowers. For example Are they daisies? Moving the flap reveals Guess what it’s a fluffy sheep.

The pictures in this book are so neat! At first glance, each page has a flower, but when you lift the flap, it becomes an animal.

The text is not amazing. However, I'm not going to grudge it because it's so easy to make up your own for a board book.

Really fun book that even I have trouble guessing!

Lift a flap to see a TULIP transform into a CAT, a DAISY become a SHEEP, a CHERRY BLOSSOM turns into a SNAKE, and so forth.

I like to say "Surprise!" or "Peek-a-boo!" as I lift the flap.

When sharing with little ones who are beginning to speak and learning to make animal sounds I ask, "What is this?" and "What sound does it make?"

I love all of Yonezu's GUESS WHAT? books so much I own them all.

Youngsters often like to say, "Guess what?", and this book pays homage to that predilection by providing a series of Guess what scenarios. Readers see one image, and then lift a flap on its facing page to find something else. Thus, daisies turn out to be a fluffy sheep, and snowdrops become a polar bear. The focus on flowers for the first glance and animals for the second one is pretty nifty.

Un petit album cartonné ingénieux qui cache des animaux sous les fleurs.
Joie et ravissement pour les petites mains qui ouvrent les rabats pour découvrir la suprise.
Une marguerite ? Non... un mouton !

Cute lift-the-flap book about flowers and animals who could look like flowers.

Good for toddler storytimes.

Fun to see what's hiding in the flowers.
