Flip the Flaps series.
Lift-the-flap half pages encourage readers to uncover the answers to basic (if random) questions about the various types of shelters that house insects, reptiles, birds, and mammals (Homes) or information about jungle-dwelling creatures (Jungle). The somewhat scattered texts detract from the visual appeal of the carefully detailed nature illustrations. Ind. Review covers these Flip the Flaps titles: Animal Homes and Jungle Animals.

Lift-the-flap half pages reveal pet questions and answers, many of which are vague and/or random. Each volume provides a very general overview for animal lovers. Ind. Review covers these I Wonder Why titles: Farm Animals and Pets.
