title: My First Lift-the-flap Abc Board Book (My First Board Books)
author: Diane Thistlethwaite
description: Preschoolers will want to return to this vivid, lively interactive board book again and again to identify all the alphabetically organized words. Every two-page spread features four to seven letters and is packed with crisp captioned photos of people, activities, and familiar objects. Among the many pictures are 45 flaps young readers can lift for still more alphabetical delights: lift the wing of the <I>flying</I> bird for a picture of <I>feathers</I>. Under <I>pizza</I> is, of course, a <I>plate</I>. Behind the <I>window</I> is a girl with a <I>watering can</I>. Kids will giggle at the touches of humor in the book. Behind the flap of the <I>girl</I> is a picture of the same girl wearing very goofy <I>glasses</I>. Two <I>kids</I> stand side by side under the letter <I>K</I>; lift the flap to see one kid trying to <I>kiss</I> the other.
