Inside the Villains

An extraordinary lift the flaps book that reveals the secrets of the most famous fairytale villians: giants, wolves and witches

" Inside the Villains is one of a kind. There is so much to find on every page, beneath every flap and in the funny details, the writing is fresh and lively, and we’ve watched children pore over it." Julia Marshall, Publisher

Book Hero Magic formatted this description to make it easier to read. While it's new and still learning, it may not be perfect - your feedback is welcome! Description

Internationally bestselling, oversized lift-the-flap book that reveals the secrets of the most famous fairytale villains.

Explore if you dare! Take a look inside and discover the villainous tricks inside the heads of an ogre, a wolf and a witch. Lift the flaps to find out what’s beneath their disguise and who was the victim of their last meal (now comfortably settled inside their stomach!).

This exquisitely produced large fold-out book is like no other: a celebration of story that’s full of humour and detail on every page, and has over 30 interactive elements that will mesmerise toddlers, pre-schoolers and independent readers.

Fold open the page to read all about each of the three villains on their personality card—their favourite pastimes, physical characteristics, their best meal and, of course, their favourite books. And on the other page, explore inside the villain by gently pulling the spiral innards of the wolf to see his last meal—children!—or watch how the witch transforms from good to bad with the lift of a flap on her crooked nose.

A multi-layered book with pop-ups, flaps within flaps and multiple fold-outs, Inside the Villains is the ultimate interactive gift book that will captivate children aged 3 and up. A perfect book for Halloween or any child who enjoys fairytales.

Translated by Daniel Hahn.

Requested a price match on a weekend day expecting to hear back on the Monday, but I got a response from Dylan just a few hours later, put through my order and the books were here Tuesday! Super fast and friendly service, love supporting smaller NZ businesses! Thanks to Heroes Dylan and Jordan for making my book-buying experience a breeze 😄
