Flutterby Butterfly: A Slide-and-Seek Book

Emma Parrish. Bonnier/Little Bee (S&S, dist.), $7.99 (10p) ISBN 978-1-4998-0029-6

Flutterby Butterfly has disappeared, and readers can help find her by manipulating horizontal and vertical sliders built into the pages of this interactive board book. Reader-directed questions (%E2%80%9CCould she be munching on some leaves?%E2%80%9D) will keep children invested as they discover alliterative creatures like Curly Caterpillar (the leaf-munching culprit) and Sunny Spider. Parrish%E2%80%99s chunky, vivid images are as sunny as can be (with rosy cheeks and a wide smile, Scary Scarecrow is anything but fearsome when he rises up out of one page), and the seek-and-find activity culminates as the pink-and-yellow Flutterby is found in a field of flowers.
