Toddlers will have fun with this bright and cheerful lift-the-flap book. Vivid photo illustrations show ducklings, frogs, dragonflies, and fishes who live in and around a pond, and are hiding behind reed grass, bright flowers, a little red duck house, and pondweed. Each hiding place is shown in a full-page-size flap. When children lift the flaps they discover the hidden animals. The last page has a special surprise. As kids lift the final flap, they see a non-breakable mirror that reflects their own smiling faces.

All of the delightful board books for Baby feature brilliant color photo illustrations with flaps to lift and friendly creatures hiding behind each of them. The books present five two-page spreads with a "Who's hiding?" question on each left-hand page and a flap hiding various animals on the right-hand page. Babies will be amused as they turn from one spread to the next--until they find a surprise on the very last spread. When they lift that final flap they uncover a mirror that shows them their own smiling face! Hiding behind this book's flaps are lambs, chicks, calves, and piglets for baby to discover and count.

Every aspect of snakes is covered, from camouflage and cold-bloodedness to how they move and kill their prey. Children who are fascinated by snakes will also discover how they feed and raise their young, how to study snakes, and why some snakes are endangered. Specially commissioned art shows a variety of these animals--flying snakes, sea snakes, and also more infamous snakes such as the black mamba and king cobra--in their habitats.
