Lift-the-flap books are very popular at storytimes. The children are very curious and delighted by hidden pictures. In No Bed Without Ted , by Nicola Smee, we look under the flaps for a little girl's teddy bear until we find it outside her house. In Nine Naughty Kittens , by Linda Jennings, a mother cat's family grows bigger while we count together the cats behind the flaps. In the cute big book Bear Snores On , by Karma Wilson, bear sleeps through the winter in his cozy cave while noisy animals try to wake him up from his hibernation. I did the creative flannel board story based on How Do I Put It On?, by Shigeo Watanabe, captivating the kids for they are also learning how to be independent dressers.
