Discover the Unknown with Schiffer Kids!

A thick layer of snow has covered the forest. Where will the animals go to get shelter from the cold? Do you know the badger’s secret hideout? And do you know where the squirrel calls home? This is such an engaging book for young children! Children can lift the many different flaps and children develop small motor skills and foster hand-eye coordination. I loved the illustrations and recommend for all young children.

This next one is similar but it teaches young children about the creatures in the sea. This one really was my favorite since I am an ocean lover! Each of eight removable animal-shaped pieces is labeled to help build vocabulary and sight recognition.
