Gotcha!

In this monstrously funny and original lift-the-flaps adventure, a child finds hiding places in three famous fairy tale houses before turning on their hide-and-seek pursuers—from the creator of international sensation Inside the Villains.

“We love Clotilde’s inventive and mischievous humour tucked under the flaps and hiding places, the cutaway fairy tale houses, and of course the triumph of a brave child.”  Rachel Lawson, Publisher

An exquisite fairy tale lift-the-flaps hide-and-seek from the international bestselling author of Inside the Villains about how what we read prepares us for life.

“Quick, hide!” Chased by monsters – a hairball, a stinkwart and a creeper – each hairier and stinkier than the one before, a child finds shelter in three famous fairytale houses.

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 is finally chased into the library where their story books remind them how to vanquish villains, causing the monsters to flee. Gotcha! is a salute to the power of story and how trying things out between the pages of a book prepares us for the world.

This intricately produced large fold-out book is like no other: a celebration of fairy tales and child empowerment that’s full of humour and detail on every page. Over 40 interactive elements to mesmerise pre-schoolers and independent readers.

A multi-layered book with flaps within flaps and multiple fold outs, Gotcha! is the ultimate interactive gift book that will captivate children ages 4 and up, to read in pairs or families, poring over the illustrations together. A perfect book for any child who enjoys fractured fairy tales.

Translated from the French edition by Daniel Hahn.
