This interactive book, which features tactile, inviting textures and plenty of lift-the-flaps throughout, invites readers to use the clues to guess what is inside each box.

In this interactive, engaging book, rhyming text and spirited illustrations invite readers to try to guess what object is hiding inside the box on each spread. Children are given clues as to the identity of the objects inside the boxes, which are decorated differently. Readers open one box that is hot and has smoke and flames pouring out of the holes; another that is wiggling around; one that is noisy; and another that is wrapped up with ribbons and a bow. Features tactile textures and lift-the-flaps throughout.
