Trying to remember a book

Hopefully someone will remember this book title...it was Spike Milligan (almost 100% sure) and each page was an animal and you could flip over the different sections to make it another animal - like it could be the top of a bird, then an elephant then a crocodile, or it could just be the elephant. And then they would have funny names.
I have had a google search and the only thing that looks likely is 'Condensed Animals' but I can't view any of the inside pictures!
If anyone has any ideas I would be super grateful Smile

We have ones like this that are themed- I think our one is Flip Flap Jungle. But it’s not Spike Milligan so may not be the one you’re thinking of!

That really rings a bell, there was one called Milliganimals but that was poetry. The one I'm thinking of looked more like one called a mix up at the zoo or flip o storic. But it would be 80s for me.

There's a flip flap Axel Scheffer one like this - I think there's a farm version and a jungle one among others

My kids loved

Buzz Buzz Bumble Jelly by Nick Sharrat

and

Remarkable Animals which is three part mix and match with good animal fact descriptions.

Neither Spike Milligan.

That's not the one I'm thinking of either 😂

Thanks everyone. It may not be Milligan at all! Funny how you remember things
