Who Lives Here?

Dorothea DePrisco, Annie Lunsford. Piggy Toes Press, $7.95 (1pp) ISBN 978-1-58117-159-4

More animals star in Who Lives Here? illus. by Annie Lunsford. For ""Who lives in the nest?"" four choices appear (butterfly, mouse, cat and bird); a pull-tab transforms the panel and provides the answer. What Will I Become? shows young animals and asks what they will be when they're all grown up (a caterpillar provides the only curve ball).
