Best flap Easter toddler book

Very little ones will love this simple and bold flap book that features a felt flap on every single page! It is not Easter themed either, so will last all-year-long. One happy customer said, "Very lovely book really colourful. The mirror at the end gives a lovely twist to the story. The felt flaps are ideal for toddlers because they do not tear. However buying just a couple of books is enough because all books are the same and they get predictable."
