Overview
A boy's kite is stuck up a tree and the boy is up a ladder to get it. Can you guess what will happen next? Turn the acetate page and 'oh no' he's fallen off! An owl is up in a tree and he hasn't noticed the cat licking his lips down below. Turn the acetate page and 'oh no' the cat has got the owl. Some children are looking at a gorilla in his cage at the zoo. Have they noticed the monkey dangling some keys? Turn the page and...'oh no'! Children will laugh with delight as they watch the situation transform before their very eyes. By flipping the clear transparent page back and forth, they can create the action repeatedly. This is a light-hearted book without words, designed to promote discussion and vocabulary building. It is a simple yet deceptively clever and fun book! AGES: 3 plus 60 pages including 13 transparent pages

Reviews
""There's magic in the concept, and skill in the execution; subtle details go unnoticed until the acetate page turns and then you see the clues that were always there to make the pictures work so well. As with a good conjurer's trick, each reveal is satisfying and impressive. Kids may not be able to articulate this, but you will definitely hear them laughing and giggling, and asking for this book to be read again and again."" (Playing by the book)
