A LITTLE PLAY GUIDE

Make a little moment of it.

Try this together

Pause before lifting a flap. Let your child point or make a sound, then add a word or a short phrase: a lion, a loud lion! Following their interest matters more than finishing every page.

Let the play grow with them

Name one animal for a younger toddler. Later, talk about big and small, make predictions, or let your child tell the story in their own way.

A no-shopping version

Borrow a lift-the-flap book from your library or tell a story using family photos.
