In the Beginning! Pop-Up Peekabool First Words by Clara Lloyd

CAN YOU FIND TEDDY BEAR AND HIS FRIENDS HIDING UNDER THE FLAPS?

WATCH OUT! THEY MIGHT JUMP OUT AT YOU!

Teddy Bear has a big box of toys.

Who else is playing in the garden?

The gang is all there to be found--Puppy Dog, Baby Bird, Daisy Dolly, and Kitty Kat can be discovered under the flaps, along with their favorite playthings, Puppy's favorite Ball in Teddy's toy box--all waiting to be found under the pop-up flaps. Baby Bird flaps and flies out from behind the tot togs drying on the clothesline. Behind the red door is Daisy Dolly driving her red Car, with Truck and Bus toodling along behind. Above also hiding behind pop-up flaps, is Kitty Kat flying her Plane, and there's a Picnic with Cupcakes to discover and share.

Reading readiness doesn't happen overnight, but Clara Lloyd's Pop-Up Peekaboo: First Words(Dorling Kindersley, 2018) helps with this essential process, presenting basic words that help youngsters gain familiarity with basic primer vocabulary. Lift-the-flaps on each page revealing pop-up characters are real attention-getters which make this book fun for read-alongs, as well as solo "reading," finger-pleasing experience with this toy-and-movable book and other titles in this preschool series.
