Carrie and Carl Play: A Flip-Flap Book

Two young siblings find familiar ways to have fun with the help of some BIG flaps — and gentle surprises — just right for small readers.

Who is playing at home today? It’s Carrie and Carl, an adorable brother-sister pair who love building (and knocking down) blocks with Mommy, hunting for Daddy behind the curtain, turning a big box into a fast train, and fashioning giant shoes out of baking pans. Using inspiration from her own children, first-time author-illustrator Lois T. Smith invites little ones to peek behind the flaps and find ways to have fun with found objects around the house — and a healthy dose of imagination.
