The inclusion of a mirror on the final page adds a playful surprise that children adore, while the compact format ensures easy portability for on-the-go families.

Books Included in This Collection:
Where’s Mrs Bear?
This title invites little explorers to search behind soft felt flaps to spot friendly characters, with sturdy board pages designed for little fingers to grip and manipulate. The warm, approachable illustration style helps new readers connect with each animal as they anticipate the next flap reveal. The tactile interaction is paired with gentle narration cues, supporting early language development while delivering a comforting, cozy reading experience that parents will love sharing at bedtime. Expect bright colours, simple rhythms, and a satisfying “peek” moment on every spread.

Where’s Mr Lion?
In this lively flap-book adventure, tiny readers hunt for a parade of safari friends behind cosy felt flaps. The five spreads maintain a consistent rhythm—lift a flap, identify a character, and anticipate the next surprise—creating a dependable pattern that supports memory and prediction skills. The final page reveals a mirror, a simple, delightful reward that encourages baby to look at themselves and engage with the story. The design channels a breezy, friendly tone that makes reading feel like a shared game rather than a lesson.

Where’s Mrs Zebra?
Five bold spreads invite toddlers to uncover a neighbourhood of safari animals behind tactile flaps. The visuals stay boldly contrasted and easy to interpret, helping very young readers practise object recognition while enjoying the action of lifting and discovering. The mirror on the last page invites self‑recognition moments that are both amusing and informative for little ones beginning to understand identity and presence. The sturdy board format stands up to busy little readers who love to flip, peek, and repeat their favourite flaps.

Where’s Mr Unicorn?
A magical twist on the felt-flap format, this title blends familiar safari charm with a hint of whimsy.

It’s the perfect bridge between real animals and imaginative play, ideal for early readers who crave both familiarity and a splash of wonder.

Where’s Mrs Kangaroo?
Designed with babies and toddlers in mind, this compact “buggy book” is perfect for travel and on-the-go reading.
