40 Highlights Hidden Pictures puzzles await kids in this engaging interactive story about work on a construction site. An oversized seek-and-find book with 40 flaps to lift and explore, it's a perfect gift for children who are fascinated by big machines and construction games. Follow busy workers and noisy machines-including a dump truck, cement truck, excavator and more-as they build a brand-new school in this lift-the-flap board book. Under the flaps there are clues to the hidden objects in each unique Hidden Pictures scene. Toddlers will get a kick out of learning the jobs of different construction vehicles, while simple rhyming text tells kids what the vehicles are doing. Lifting the flaps gives fine motor skills a workout, too. The last scene shows kids pretending to operate their own construction site, sparking young readers' imaginations.
