Overview:
Discover Axel Scheffler's Flip Flap series in this five-book hardback collection, bringing together Safari, Ocean, Dinosaurs, Frozen and Forest in one giggle-inducing set. Designed for curious young children, each split-page book lets little hands mix and match halves of different creatures to invent silly new hybrids, complete with made-up names and daft rhymes. Illustrated by the artist behind The Gruffalo, this set combines interactive fun with early language development, making it a lovable gift for preschoolers.

About the Books:
Flip Flap: Safari mixes an elephant with a lion to make an "elephon", or a zebra with a crocodile to make a "zebodile". Flip Flap: Ocean blends a squid with a fish into a "squish", or a shark with a turtle into a "shurtle". Flip Flap: Dinosaurs takes budding palaeontologists back millions of years, combining horned, feathered and towering prehistoric creatures into more than 121 brand-new hybrids. Flip Flap: Frozen heads to icy, snow-covered lands where polar animals combine into fantastical frosty creations, while Flip Flap: Forest brings woodland friends together — a squirrel and a woodpecker becoming a "squecker" — celebrating nature with playful rhythm. Across all five titles, Scheffler's bold illustrations and silly rhyming text encourage children to experiment with sounds and giggle through repeat readings. The flip-flap mechanism means no two readings are quite the same, giving huge replay value. Sturdy hardback pages withstand enthusiastic little hands flipping page halves again and again, ideal for storytime, the car, or a day out.
