Doors
PreSchool-Grade 3-Munro combines two kid-pleasing formats-lift-the-flap and picture puzzle-in this bright, bold book. Each spread features a different door, and behind the flap youngsters find a setting rendered in Munro's colorfully busy cartoon style. Even more flaps can be found under the first, allowing children to peek inside cabinets in the firehouse, into the stable at the barn, under the hood of a car in the garage, and more. An accompanying verse invites a search for 7 to 11 objects in each picture, with an apple and a hat providing continuity across all the spreads. The final illustration features an opening of a different kind: a book, or entry to a fantastic world, where readers can search behind castle doors and windows. The clever design is well integrated into the story-even the title page features doors to open. The flaps' sturdy construction, much thicker than the average for this type of book, will stand up to a great deal of wear and tear from eager young hands. This is a book that's sure to have kids lining up at your door.Kathleen Kelly MacMillan, Maryland School for the Deaf, ColumbiaCopyright © Reed Business Information, a division of Reed Elsevier Inc.
