Lift and See Animals

Five animals—a tiger, elephant, parrot, zebra, and giraffe—invite readers to match photographs of their heads and bodies with up-close images of their furry, feathery, or leathery hides in this first title in the My First Matching Book series. Each animal appears at left, opposite horizontal bands displaying three animals’ hides; the parrot’s brightly colored plumage sits below the delicate fur of a guinea pig and the tough skin of a “bumpy alligator,” with small flaps revealing the correct (and incorrect) matches. The intricate and varied textures of feather and fur may well be a revelation to kids just getting to know the animal kingdom. Simultaneously available: Lift and See Farm. Up to age 3. (Sept.)
