unique transparent page that allows readers to peek “inside” to make new discoveries.

Following the exploration of the ladybug and its habitat, several other related insects are briefly introduced and a short quiz [find the five animals in the picture that are not insects] ends the book.

These little "First Discovery Books" are so wonderful. I love the clear overleafs on the detailed bright pictures. Even though these are for very little children, I think of these little books as miniature works of art.
