The Big Surprise: A Lift-The-Flap Book

Fans of the TV series can see more of Oswald the octopus and his dachshund, Weenie, in two lift-the-flap books. In The Big Surprise, by J-P Chanda, illus. by Dan Kanemoto, the two pass their friends, hidden under the flaps, who are all in a big hurry and carrying suggestive items like cupcakes and flowers (they are all headed to a surprise party for Weenie). In Where's Weenie? by Annie Evans, illus. by Piero Piluso, it's the day of the big parade and Oswald can't find Weenie anywhere. She's not in the closet or the picnic basket, but she appears at the end, triumphantly atop the parade float.
