Carefully cut around the bottom dotted line around the animal's chin. You might find it easier to do this at the beginning before you fold or unfold to cut. repeat with the other animals and you're ready to read!

 

 

 

Simply pick your favourite books, slip over the corner to mark the page and pick up where you left off.
