Hurry up, let's go--we're taking a trip to the dinosaur museum with Tom and his dad! And, Tom loves dinosaurs, so he has a scrapbook full of facts that you can look at, too. What will you see today? There's long-horned triceratops--and vegetarian stegosaurus with big bones all down his back. Hey--get a good look at the crested corythosaurus, apatosaurus with his large body and small head, and Tom's favorite: the mighty, sharp-toothed T rex. But, they're just bones--so it's up to you to make these prehistoric beasts appear in all their glory. And, the tab's the only magic wand you'll need.

Whee--it's a vibrant animal shopping spree! Zebra, Cow, Penguin, and Panda are stepping out on the town to buy some clothes. Zebra chooses a white T-shirt. "That would look good on you," says Flamingo, "but something colorful might be better. Try it in BLUE!" Help Flamingo brighten up the beasts with a little pull of the tab so Cow looks pretty in pink, Penguin makes everyone green with jealousy, and Panda goes boldly forth in yellow and red. And when it starts to rain, Flamingo has the answer with an umbrella that matches them all!

Ssh! Mama cat is fast asleep. What can kitten do? Let's look around. See the baby bunnies bouncing in the field. That looks like fun; but though she tries, kitten can't move in leaps and bounds. I wish there were something I could do... "Little kitten, where are you?" That's mama calling; she's wide awake. And, just like a kitten should, she jumps right up on the fence, and run, run, runs till she's back at home. Now it's time for kitty's nap, curled up right next to mommy cat. The sweetest good night story after a busy day.

Carry Me Tales make wonderful little gifts for toddlers. Each has a soft cloth cover with a little handle at the top so that kids can carry it around like a miniature briefcase. The pages inside the cloth are sturdy cardboard with charming color illustrations and a little story that Mom or Dad can read aloud to baby. A Velcro-tipped tab keeps the covers shut. In this Carry Me Tale, Billy's mother makes him a Carry Me bag, and soon he is collecting all sorts of things in it. He gets a feather from a rooster, a pebble from the streambed from a fish, and many other things. At last, he puts all his things together to make a thank-you gift for Mom.
