About This Book

Talented and prolific illustrator Ingela P. Arrhenius's artwork pops in this new addition to the best-selling felt flaps series, which has sold over two million copies! Five stylishly illustrated spreads depict a series of vehicles (hot-air balloon, helicopter, rocket, and, of course, plane) hidden beneath bright felt flaps. With a mirror on the final page, this is the perfect book to share with very little ones.

Our Review

This engaging lift-the-flap book introduces young children to different modes of transportation through a clever, hands-on format. Bright, graphic illustrations showcase a hot-air balloon, helicopter, rocket, and plane, each concealed beneath a durable felt flap perfect for small fingers. The sturdy board book construction is ideal for the toddler stage, combining vehicle identification with the simple joy of discovery. It transforms a basic concept book into an interactive experience that builds vocabulary and observational skills.

What truly sets this book apart is the delightful surprise waiting on the final pageโ€”a child-safe mirror that invites personal connection. This feature consistently delights the one-to-three-year-old crowd, turning a reading session into a playful game of peekaboo. The combination of bold, retro-inspired art, tactile felt flaps, and the mirror creates a multi-sensory experience that holds a young child's attention. Itโ€™s a standout choice for fostering early interaction with books and encouraging joyful, repeat readings.
