A parent might reach for this after a child refuses a vegetable at dinner or after the child expresses wonder at seeing a garden for the first time.
For an infant, the book is a tactile and visual experience centered on Spot's recognizable face. For a toddler, it becomes a vocabulary builder and a game of prediction (guessing what is under the flap).
