Beautiful illustrations go along with the Haiku poem rule (5-7-5 syllables) as you work your way through signs of spring. The lift the flaps give a fun surprise on each page!

Warm breezes blowing,
pond open for summer fun—
slip, slide, belly ride!
(Peek-a-boo, OTTER!)

Each haiku in this lift-the-flap board book will have readers guessing the animal it describes—with the answer revealed under a flap on each page! With lovely text, sweet illustrations, and cute creatures, this lyrical and interactive book is a joy to read!
