Children's favourite game of peekaboo - but in book form! What toddler doesn't love peekaboo games? That game, which they can never get enough of, is the starting point of these three colourful flip and flap books. When you open a page, you first see only 'bare' shapes. But under the flaps on the side, every page - peekaboo! - hides a wonderful world populated by the most diverse animals. Dogs, beetles, a grasshopper, an octopus: they are all imaginative elaborations of the basic shapes on the flap. Each of the three books deals with its own type of shape: triangular and zigzag shapes, round and flowing shapes and square and right-angled shapes. The animals match the character of the shapes. Square rhinoceroses rush enthusiastically towards their goal, triangular lobsters dance the tango with temperament and a round elephant makes a dreamy jump. The longer you look at the pictures, the more you discover in them. Little ones will playfully learn about the shapes, dream away with the special creatures and, just like in the real game, they will shout again and again after closing the book: 'One more time!'.
