Lift the Flaps

Lately, some of my favorite bedtime stories are something called "lift the flap" books. These books typically contain many flaps hiding lots of wonderful secrets underneath. I especially like "Go, Maisy, Go!" which features "over forty flaps." Daddy always seems to groan when he reads that line in the book. One of the nicest things about flap books is that I can really use my imagination to work out all sorts of scenarios with the characters and the flaps. Of course, these scenarios take time both to formulate and to tell Mommy and Daddy about. As a result, bedtime reading the flap books can sometimes last a long time (which is fine with me). Yesterday, for example, story time lasted for more than an hour. Flap books are the best!
