Rachel Lawson, Publisher Review Quote "Three hairy, smelly monsters pursue a clever child through three fairy-tale houses in Cotilde Perrins Gotcha!, a slightly scary yet playfully droll lift-the-flap book. The chase begins on the title page with a child dressed in a bear costume turning the page. Enter monster #1: "a nasty hairball with frightful fur and feculent feet... prowling, sniffing, searching" for the child, who hides in a brick house belonging to the Three Little Pigs. Monsters #2 and #3 follow suit, while the child evades them in Hansel and Gretels gingerbread house and in Sleeping Beautys castle. Each house has plenty to look at, with cutouts, flaps, foldouts and split pages that reveal whats behind closed doors and upstairs. The oversized pages filled with bold, saturated artwork showcase the creatures in all their stinky, "freakish" glory. This interactive fairy-tale hide-and-seek, which was translated from French by Daniel Hahn, is guffaw-eliciting and engaging."--Shelf Awareness Author Comments Full-Color Illustrations, Original Artwork Feature A lift-the-flap, hide-and-seek game inside three fairy tale houses More than 40 flaps to lift and as many surprises to discover Peek inside a subverted fairy tale world Companion title to international bestseller Inside the Villains Clotilde Perrins previous lift-the-flaps fairytale books have sold more than 136,000 copies around the world, in seven languages Description for Press or Other Media National Publicity Campaign, National Review Attention, Special Publicity Mailing to Childrens Media Outlets Details ISBN1776574699 Author Daniel Hahn Pages 28 Publisher Gecko Press Language English Year 2022 Illustrator Clotilde Perrin ISBN-10 1776574699 ISBN-13 9781776574698 Format Hardcover Imprint Gecko Press Country of Publication New Zealand Place of Publication Wellington Translated from French Translator Daniel Hahn UK Release Date 2022-10-01 Publication Date 2022-10-01 NZ Release Date 2022-10-01 Illustrations Illustrations, color DEWEY 843.92 Audience Childrens (6-12) Audience Age 5-9 We've got this At The Nile, if you're looking for it, we've got it.
