A colourful lift-the-flap board book to help children learn about shapes in a fun way. Each page features an illustrated scene full of spotting, naming and counting activities, from a circus show to a trip to the seaside and a summer picnic. Activities include lifting circular, triangular and star-shaped flaps at the circus to uncover the hidden performers, and searching for animals at the seaside by lifting beach balls, kites and umbrellas. With over 80 flaps to lift, each page has lots to spot and talk about, even for pre-readers.
Felicity has worked for Usborne for over 30 years and has written and edited hundreds of titles, from books on tractors to genetics, from Shakespeare to mental health, and plenty of sparkly unicorns. Felicity is an expert in making tricky topics friendly and accessible to young children and recently has been writing books that celebrate feelings, friendship, empathy, families, and diversity. When she's not writing or researching very specific details on dinosaurs, Felicity can be found tramping through fields and forests foraging for food or just curled up with a bag of Twiglets, a couple of cats and a crossword.
