About this title

From School Library Journal:

PreS In this lift-the-flap picture book, Trilby the bear pays the price for tooting his trumpet too loudly when his brother Finch hides it. The remainder of the book consists of Trilby searching high and low, from refrigerator to pantry and everywhere in between, in an attempt to recover his beloved instrument. Finch finally reveals the trumpet's hiding place: under his chef's hat! This book holds a certain charm with its two lovable bears who inhabit a quaint, homey abode with a basketful of cats. The story is slight, but children should enjoy this clever game of hide-and-seek. Deb Andrews, formerly at Kokomo-Howard County Pub . Lib . , Ind.

From Publishers Weekly:

Trilby is a young bear who adores his trumpet and loves to play it loudly. Older brother Finch gets fed up and hides the instrument from his noisy sibling; readers participate in Trilby's search by lifting the flaps concealed in each illustration. Set in a New England country kitchen, the line drawings with full-color wash are charmingly detailed. The flaps, while sometimes a bit small for little hands, are imaginatively placed, and they often reveal humorous surprises. It adds up to a sweet and inviting book for parent-child sharing. Ages 3-6.
