Two young siblings find familiar ways to have fun with the help of some BIG flaps — and gentle surprises — just right for small readers.

Who is playing at home today? It’s Carrie and Carl, an adorable brother-sister pair who love building (and knocking down) blocks with Mommy, hunting for Daddy behind the curtain, turning a big box into a fast train, and fashioning giant shoes out of baking pans. Using inspiration from her own children, first-time author-illustrator Lois T. Smith invites little ones to peek behind the flaps and find ways to have fun with found objects around the house — and a healthy dose of imagination.

My Daughter's Name is Carrie

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on June 19, 2007

Verified Purchase

My daughter saw this book at the library. She's five and recognized her name on the cover so we had to get it. Although my daughter is not considered biracial, she looks a lot like the Carrie in this book. The story is fun to read and my daughter loves the fold-out pages. I plan to purchase it and save it in her keepsake box.

A charming story of a biracial family

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on March 16, 2007

For those of us who are tired of the heavy-handed and politically correct, here is an alternative: a charming and subtle picture book that gently exposes children to a multiracial family. Drawing on her own personal experiences, the author allows a child to discover and feel entirely comfortable with a family in which the Mom is Caucasian, the Dad is African-American and the kids look like Barack Obama. Beautifully illustrated with kid-friendly "lift-the-flaps", this book strikes exactly the right tone. Hats off to Lois Smith for this wonderful new children's book.

Carrie and Carl have Charm

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on February 22, 2007

Carrie and Carl is a book with pretty bright colors and simple fun. The flaps add a note of gentle humor. The "what's there?" question will intrigue the little ones.

I am myself the mother in a mixed-race family, like the family in the book. I like the fact that this is just a family doing ordinary things and the colors of the people are presented without special notice. But it isn't an "issues" book. It's for all little kids. It's playful.

Carrie and Carl Play: A Flip-Flap Book is a must read for every pre-schooler out there! Educational, interactive, and inspirational are the words that come to mind when a parent and child read this book together. Lois T. Smith's love for her children and grandchildren shine throughout the pages of this book which is sure to enhance the mental development of any child!

This children's book is one of my child's favorite books.

He absoutely loves the pictures and colors and points at an object on every page. It's a great read for all children. Mine truly enjoys it.
