Go Ahead! Click to Lift the Flaps
Take a look inside Lift the Flap: Discovery! Dinosaurs. The "Jurassic Giants" spread starts with a prehistoric scene packed with things to spot. Lift the flaps, and a whole new layer of facts, answers, and discoveries appears underneath.
- What's inside a Diplodocus stomach? Stones it may have swallowed to grind up tough leaves.
- Why did the Stegosaurus have those enormous plates? They may have changed color to warn attackers away.
- What can fossilized footprints and even fossilized dinosaur poo tell us millions of years later? More than you'd think—they give scientists clues about how dinosaurs lived, moved, and ate.
Now look inside Lift the Flap: Learning+ Robots. The "Moving and Sensing" spread shows how a robot takes in the world around it. Lift the flaps and the real machines appear underneath — the ones being built right now.
- How does a robot know where it is? GPS receivers and sensors that track the position of its own body and limbs.
- What are liquid muscles? Plastic bags filled with oil that squeeze into a new shape when electricity passes through — the same plastic used for potato chip bags.
- Why do so many robots copy animals? Centipedes, geckos, jellyfish and crabs already solved the hard problems of moving over rough ground and through water.
And inside the Ultimate Lift the Flap Encyclopedia of Oceans. "The Big Chill" covers the coldest water on Earth, with 200 flaps across the whole book. Lift them and the polar animals reveal how they survive it.
- Why isn't a polar bear cold? Two thick layers of fur over blubber, and hairs that stick together when wet to make the coat waterproof.
- How does a snowy owl disappear? White winter plumage on the sea ice, with thick feathers keeping its talons warm.
- Which ocean is the smallest? The Arctic — and in winter it freezes over the North Pole entirely.
Why These Books Get Read Again (and Again)
Start with what already fascinates them. A child who can name every excavator isn't "not into books." They just haven't found the book that speaks their language yet.
Every flap gives them a reason to keep going. Lift. Discover. Ask. Remember. Lift again. Dozens of little reveals turn reading into something they get to do.
Then they start telling you the facts. One day, completely unprompted, they'll tell you that birds are dinosaurs—or explain exactly how an excavator works. That's when you know all that curiosity is sticking.
