Gotcha!: A Funny Fairy Tale Hide-And-Seek
by Clotilde Perrin (Author) Clotilde Perrin (Illustrator)
An exquisite fairy tale lift-the-flaps hide-and-seek from the international bestselling author of Inside the Villains.
"Quick, hide!" Chased by monsters - a hairball, a stinkwart and a creeper - each hairier and stinkier than the one before, a child needs to find shelter in three famous fairytale houses. The Three Little Pigs' brick home, Sleeping Beauty's palace and Hansel and Gretel's gingerbread mansion. Lift the flaps big and small to discover curious places for the child's best chance to hide. Knock on the door of the Little Pigs' bathroom, open up Hansel and Gretel's oven (if you dare!) or see who's already inside Sleeping Beauty's stopped clock. The hero of our story has read their story books and knows how to vanquish villains, causing the monsters to flee.
This intricately produced large fold-out book is like no other: a celebration of fairy tales and child empowerment that's full of humor and detail on every page. Over 40 interactive elements to mesmerize pre-schoolers and independent readers. A multi-layered book with flaps within flaps and multiple fold outs. A perfect book for any child who enjoys fractured fairy tales.

Three fairy tale homes become havens from a monster trio in this richly imagined lift-the-flap translation from the creator of Inside the Villains. Chasing a white-cued child into the Three Little Pigs' abode, Hansel and Gretel's gingerbread house, and Sleeping Beauty's castle, each truly fearsome creature is aptly introduced with a "Look out!" and alliterative text. "A nasty hairball with frightful fur" startles with its toothy downturned mouth, a "freakish fizzling stinkwart" has fumes emerging from its bottom, and zombie eyes frighten on "a terrible tired-eyed creeper." The structures overflow with droll details (a wolf constellation poster at the pigs' digs), and residents make wryly appropriate comments ("I'm turning on the oven, Hansel"). The frightful chase converges at a bookshelf with flap-filled tomes that talk back, until at last the child displays some literary-inspired bravery, banishing the "collywobblers" for an autonomy-based conclusion. Ages 5-9. (Oct.)
