I have always loved this story and thought the lift-and-look would be fun as well, but it's not. The flow of the rhymes is the most beautiful part of Dr. Seuss's books, and when you have to stop and lift - the flow is stopped. Also the lift-and-look bits are all over the pages - up, left, down, right - so it is almost impossible to carry on reading fluently while trying to open each. In addition - the font under the flaps is sooooooooo tiny!!!!!This version does not work for me. I am donating this book and will go for the regular.
