Description

Mix and match the faces of the members of a family to hilarious effect.

Family Flip Flap is a re-issue of a limited run book from 1982 (previously entitled Family Scramble), illustrated by classic children's illustrator, Maureen Roffey.

The tops and bottoms of faces are bisected so that they can be mixed and matched to uproarious effect; Aunt Helen sucks a dummy, Tiny Tess mends a car, Mummy makes a mess and Daddy does his homework. Children ages two and up will delight in subverting traditional adult-child roles in this deceptively simple flip flap book.

Clear, accessible illustrations maintain their vintage feel whilst being further revived by the use of neon colour throughout and gorgeous packaging.

Book Hero Magic summarised reviews for this book. While it's new and still learning, it may not be perfect - your feedback is welcome! HOW HAS THIS BEEN REVIEWED?

A Youth Services Book Review praises Family Flip Flap as a great source of laughter rather than a traditional reading book. Noted for bright, colourful illustrations and sturdy pages, it is recommended for children aged three to five, especially in settings like preschools and daycare centres. The humour appeals to young children, and beginner readers can decode the text easily by referring to the pictures.
