Books in Inside story series

Down below the waves, where mermaids play: that’s where this captivating Step Inside transports young children. As kids turn the pages, they’ll travel across the ocean floor, with its layers of plants, shells, fish, and even sunken treasure. But they’ll also learn what a mermaid’s life is like as she attends school in the ocean; enjoy fun and games in the Pearl Palace, where all the oysters live; help decorate the underwater garden with shiny glass; peer into the Little Urchin Nursery; and celebrate the spring tide with a ball.

Do you believe in fairies? This enchanting 3-D book would make anyone answer “yes!” It practically sprinkles children with fairy dust and flies them into fairyland on moonbeams to meet the magical beings who live there. And these shy creatures come in a surprising number of forms, from the familiar cherubs with gossamer wings to animals. Everything fairy materializes on these many-layered pages: famous fairies in stories, like Tinkerbell; garden fairies who work among the flowers and trees; and useful fairies (including Brownies) that help around the home. There’s even an invitation to the fairy ball, with a maypole!
