ABOUT

The magic of water-reveal activity with the irresistible setup-and-surprise of a joke book, for kids ages 4–6 who love to be in on the joke!

Something is hiding under that blanket. It's probably just an armchair. Totally normal. Nothing to see here... until you paint it with water. Then? It's a gorilla. Scratching. His. Armpits.

Welcome to Gotcha!—the water-reveal book that's one part mystery, one part joke book, and one hundred percent impossible to put down. Each spread presents a covered-up clue and invites kids to make their best guess before picking up the paintbrush. The results are never what they expect. A suspicious lump on the kitchen counter? Not a fruit bowl. A lumpy shape in the garden? Definitely not a garden gnome. Every reveal is a punchline, every brushstroke a setup, and every giggle a sign that someone just got... Gotcha'd.

With irresistible water-reveal play and comedy timing baked right into the page turns, Gotcha! is perfect for early readers and pre-readers alike—and sneaks in prediction skills, observation, and a little visual reasoning along the way. Because the best kind of learning is the kind that ends in an armpit joke.

STANDARD, PRIMARY, DM AND VARIANT COVERS

Standard and Primary covers are widely available through general retailers. They often have higher print runs and can be cheaper, especially during sales.

In contrast, Direct Market (DM) and variant covers are primarily sold in comic shops. DM editions tend to have more limited availability and may be more valuable to collectors.

The main differences lie in artwork style, availability, price, and collector appeal. Ultimately, the choice between standard and variant covers depends on personal preference, budget, and individual collecting goals.
