K-3Flip the Flaps series.
Illustrated by
Nicki Palin.
Information is presented in large print with simple pictures illustrating very broad concepts (e.g., "Sometimes the weather is stormy," "Earth is where we live"). Between each double-page spread is a half-page flap with three questions; readers lift the flaps to discover answers beneath. The lifted flap also completes the left-side picture, showing, for example, Earth's inner layers. The approach is visually appealing. Ind. Review covers these Flip the Flaps titles: Planet Earth and Weather.
