lift-the-flap books

Peek-beneath-the-page books

Lift-the-flap books are children's picture books with hinged paper flaps that readers lift to reveal hidden images or text underneath.

The format engages young children through tactile interaction and surprise: She loved lifting the flaps to find the animals hiding.

Most are board books designed to withstand small hands, though the flaps themselves rarely survive intact.
