The Sneaky, Snacky Squirrel and Shelby’s Snack Shack by Educational Insights and illustrated by Lucia Gaggiotti are interactively hands-on engaging board books that bring adventure to life.
The Sneaky, Snacky Squirrel engages young explorers learning to read in a world of colors and numbers. The young reader assists the Sneaky, Snacky Squirrel as he tries to locate all the acorns that he so cautiously hides for winter and loses track of where he hides them. The story encourages the young reader to involve themselves in the acorn search through colorful playful interactive flaps that reveal hidden surprises until they find the lost acorns, making this educational experience both fun and exciting.
Shelby’s Snack Shack engages the reader through interactive pop-ups while helping Shelby find the missing bones from her snack shack that are lost on the beach. This book is thoughtfully designed to fascinate the young reader while developing their observation, counting, and addition skills in a playfully interactive world. The gentle colorful artwork and liftable flaps as you search to reveal the hidden mystery or find the lost bones is always a surprise, supporting this educational experience as exciting and rewarding.
These books are perfect for children aged 2–4 years old because of the sturdy construction that is capable of handling even the most enthusiastic little hands. The cute colorful illustrations with hidden interactive features are an exceptional tool for observing, counting, remembering, and addition learning skills—while also having fun.

About the author Hi, I’m Tunde! I’m a psychology major at BMCC. As a mom of three, I’ve seen firsthand how much of an impact books can have on kids. That’s why I’ve developed a passion for reviewing children’s books—because I truly believe reading is one of the most important things for young minds. It not only sparks their imagination but also helps them develop the skills and insights they’ll need as they grow. Through my reviews, I hope to help other parents and caregivers find books that not only entertain but also foster growth, learning, and emotional development in children.
