Internationally bestselling, oversized lift the flap book that reveals the secrets of the most famous fairytale villains.
Explore if you dare! Take a look inside and discover the villainous tricks inside the heads of an ogre, a wolf and a witch. Lift the flaps to find out what's beneath their disguise and who was the victim of their last meal (now comfortably settled inside their stomach!).
This exquisitely produced large fold-out book is like no other: a celebration of story that's full of humor and detail on every page, and has over 30 interactive elements that will mesmerize toddlers, pre-schoolers and independent readers.
Fold open the page to read all about each three villains on their personality card--their favorite pastimes, physical characteristics, their best meal and, of course, their favorite books. And on the other page, explore inside the villain by gently pulling the spiral innards of the wolf to see his last meal--children!--or watch how the witch transforms from good to bad with the lift of a flap on her crooked nose.
A multi-layered book with pop ups, flaps within flaps and multiple fold outs, Inside the Villains is the ultimate interactive gift book that will captivate children age 3 and up. A perfect book for Halloween or any child who enjoys fairytales.
Clotilde Perrin is an illustrator living in Strasbourg. Her other books include The House of Madame M and Inside the Suitcase.
