Where's Mr Footballer? | Felt Flaps

Five felt flaps to lift, friendly faces to find, and a surprise mirror at the end — baby's first football book.

The Felt Flaps series has earned its place on the board book shelf because it gets one thing right: the flaps are soft, chunky felt, so even the smallest hands can manage them without anything tearing. Lifting a flap and finding someone behind it is one of the first pieces of cause and effect a baby works out, and it never stops being satisfying.

This one is all about the beautiful game, out in time for the 2026 World Cup. Mrs Goalkeeper, Mr Referee and Mrs Coach are all hiding in there somewhere before Mr Footballer himself turns up. The mirror on the final page is always the moment.
