The split pages of these books invite young toddlers to explore the world around them and experiment with delightful and amusing combinations. While they learn by trial and error which pairings are correct, the silly mismatched combinations they discover are sure to set off fits of giggles. Every animal has its very own set of ears which are a perfect fit, but by turning the pages in this interactive book, toddlers can create strange combinations that will surprise and delight their young imaginations. Each animal is proud of its ears but encourages the child to flip the split page to give it a new set of ears. Mouse has ears that are round and big, but with pig's floppy ears he looks very silly. Bunny has beautiful long ears that stand up straight, but short round ears give her a completely new look. The sturdy pages and rounded corners will make this a lap time favorite.
