(3) PS This lift-the-flap book begins mysteriously, with an illustration of six keys. Six watercolor spreads follow, each showing an animal hidden by a cage's closed door--so that's what the keys are for! This ingeniously simple book's only text is the repeated "thanks" from each freed animal until the reader opens a final, keyless seventh flap, freeing a (hungry) snake: "AAAAHHHHHHHHHHHH!"
