The Very Hungry Caterpillar’s Hide & Seek
Publisher: Puffin
Take a trip into the forest with the very hungry caterpillar as your guide and see how many creatures you can find hiding in some unexpected places.
Where are the busy bees off to on a sunny day? Who’s hiding behind a rock in the stream? Who lives underground in the dark? And who is out on the prowl when the moon comes out and most creatures are fast asleep?
This exciting lift-the-flap board book is a great way for youngsters to explore the different habitats a forest can provide, and to find out which creatures might live in them. Multiple cut-outs on every page add an extra dimension, making the pictures tactile as well as colourful.
Little fingers can follow the cut-out trails and trace the routes of bees, frogs, mice, fox cubs, and the famous caterpillar himself, from the open air to their very best hiding places which are concealed behind sturdy flaps.
With rhyming text giving rhythm to the story, and classic "Hungry Caterpillar-style" illustrations, this is a great book to encourage an interest in nature.
