A Turtle in the Toilet

Illustrated by Caroline Jayne Church

There's a turtle in the toilet and a skunk beneath the bunk.

A household of wild animals pop-up in the most unexpected places, but who is having a hard time trying to hide?

Featuring ten fabulous pop-ups!

As pop-ups go, this is one of the better ones for the under five market

Here is one of this book's reviews

Watch out when you open the front door, this is a house full of surprises.
Open the freezer door and you'll find a bear with an ice cream; look in the toy cupboard, but mind the tiger doesn't bite you.
Is there a smell under the bed? Could it be a skunk beneath the bunk? Wart-hogs spring out at you from the wardrobe and the closet is crammed with crocodiles, but you'll never guess who is hiding in the bed.
As pop-ups go, this is one of the better ones for the under five market. There is a surprise on every page and the turtle in the toilet bowl is cleverly designed to jump out as you lift the seat.
It's not basic lift the flap, but contains multi-piece moving pop-ups to create a better surprise effect. The inevitable downside of such complexity though, is that they're just so tempting for little hands to pull that they're not going to stay in good condition for long.
