Flip through history with this fun lift-the-flap board book
challenging today's toddlers to identify everyday objects from the past
and revealing how it looks today.
Kids today are a whiz with cell phones and tablets and all sorts of
technology. But what would happen if you showed them what those same
gadgets looked like when you, your parents, or even your grandparents
were kids?
What Is It? presents images of early versions of everyday tools and
technology we use today, such as phones, cameras, televisions, washing
machines, with lift-the-flap prompts asking preschoolers to identify the
item. Clues on each page provide hints to what the mystery item is. A
simple lift of the flap will reveal the answer! Guaranteed giggles of
delight will come from this look at some of the craziest changes over
the decades of inventions we take for granted today.
