Over 55 Flaps to Open

My son has a Thomas book that is his favorite and my least favorite.  It is a “lift-the-flap” book.  On the outside it says “Over 55 Flaps to Open.”  I laugh whenever I see that, because next time I see that on the outside of a book, it will do anything but entice me to buy it.  I really like reading to my son, we read a lot each day, but sometimes I just don’t have the patience to sit there while he opens every single flap and makes conversation about what is under each flap.  I have to be full-rested (as if) and in a really good mood to enjoying reading any flap book.
