Under the rising sun of the cold Arctic tundra, the snow is defrosting, wildflowers are swaying and a young Arctic fox is ready to explore.

From the chilly Arctic coast, and the windy mountains, to a frosty forest and Antarctica in the frozen south, follow a fluffy Arctic fox, a migrating tern and a baby penguin as they scamper, soar and waddle.

Join the intrepid trio as they explore the lands around them, observing all the incredible things there are to spot and learn about.

Develop observation, counting and colour skills as you go. With stunning illustrations by Sandra Dieckmann with more than 100 interactive flaps of different shapes and sizes, keeping curious minds and fingers busy.

Packed with facts on every page, there are hours of fun learning. This is the second book in the series: ‘Hide and Find in the Forest: A Lift-the-Flap Woodland Adventure’, is also available.
