The dark clouds were coming and rain was due to fall, but Noah worked day and night—he knew he must build the ark before water came in sight. Climb aboard Noah’s ark for one of history’s greatest journeys starring the adorable Snappy gang. Derek Matthew’s award-winning illustrations bring this much beloved story to life, while fun lift-the-flap surprises keep little ones giggling. Once the story is finished, the fun isn’t over! This engaging book also includes 30 building pieces for children to create their own 3-D ark, and characters including Noah, his wife and some of their four-legged friends.

It was another sunny day on the farm, but little Piglet was feeling sad — all the other animals had jobs, but what could Piglet do? Join the Snappy gang as they help Piglet learn about barnyard life in the charming new title, Snappy Builder: On the Farm. Kids will be delighted by the fun, rhyming text, colorful pictures and lift-the-flap surprises inside. Filled with Derek Matthews' much-loved characters and illustrations, this sweet book also includes a build-it-yourself 3-D barn and farmyard friends for children to create their own farm fun afterwards. This should be more than enough to distract young readers from attempting Piglet's newly discovered job — rolling in the mud.

In Snappy Fun with Opposites, children can apply more than 60 stickers to brightly drawn scenes and complete exercises related to opposites such as big and small, hot and cold, fast and slow. Activities include stories with illustrations in place of some words, requiring kids to find a matching sticker, plus tasks that reinforce opposites, hints for young minds, and wide-open pages where children can make pictures of their own.
