Overview
The Felt Flaps And A Mirror! series by Ingela P Arrhenius is a five-book board book collection built for the very first storytime. Each title sends little ones on a hide-and-seek hunt through a different world, from a farmyard to the African savanna, searching for a friendly animal tucked behind a soft, textured felt flap. Every book ends with the same delightful surprise: a baby-safe mirror so your child can see their own happy face. Sturdy and endlessly re-readable, this set makes a wonderful first-library addition for babies and toddlers alike.
About the Books
This five-book collection gathers the complete original Felt Flaps And A Mirror! series, each title following the same beloved, baby-tested format: five brightly illustrated spreads, a soft felt flap to lift on every page, and a mirror surprise waiting at the end. In Where's Mr Lion?, little explorers search a sunny savanna scene for Mrs Giraffe, Mr Crocodile, Mrs Elephant, and finally Mr Lion himself. Where's Mrs Kangaroo? takes readers on a hop through the Australian outback to meet a cast of friendly native animals. Where's Mrs Hen? and Where's Mr Duck? bring the fun closer to home, with a parade of cheerful farmyard and pond-side characters peeking out from behind their flaps. Where's Mrs Zebra? rounds out the collection with a colorful safari adventure. Each book is printed on thick, rounded-corner board pages designed to survive chewing, bending, and repeated page turns, while the felt flaps are stitched securely so they can be lifted again and again without tearing. The bold, mid-century-inspired illustrations use a warm, limited color palette that is easy for young eyes to focus on, and the simple, repetitive text pattern helps babies anticipate what comes next, supporting early language development. Parents consistently praise the series for striking a rare balance: genuinely beautiful to look at, yet tough enough for daily use in the diaper bag or nursery bookshelf. Together, the five titles make a complete, giftable set introducing babies to animals, textures, colors, and their own reflection.
