Description
DISCOVER THE ANIMALS
Book summary
An interactive board book designed for little ones to explore the animal kingdom through play. With flaps on every spread, children from 18 months to 4 years old will be able to lift, observe, and discover which animal is hiding behind each clue. Ideal for developing curiosity and early vocabulary, this story combines the excitement of a guessing game with learning about animals from the farm, the forest, the sea, and the jungle. Written in uppercase letters, it also supports the first steps in reading.
What is it about?
On each of the book's five spreads, the child finds a different setting (the farm, the forest, the sea, the jungle, and a section dedicated to animals with feathers). In each scene, there are seven illustrated animals, but only one is hidden under a flap. A short description written on the flap gives a clue about the hidden animal. The child must observe, think, and lift the flap to see if they guessed correctly. The book is designed as a discovery game that encourages attention, association of ideas, and fine motor skills.

- Discovery of the animal world: identifying species from the farm, forest, sea, and jungle.
