(3) PS Illustrated by Steve Jenkins. This board book introduces six animals, including a crab, a fish, and a butterfly. The answer to an introductory question ("Can you spot the green animal?") is revealed by lifting an often leaf-shaped flap to see the answer underneath (a snake). Additional information about the hidden animal is shown in smaller type. The colorful and multi-layered collage illustrations add context and content.
