Archie's Animal Friends
Helen Stephens
Hardcover
(B.E.S. Publishing, Aug. 1, 2009)
In this charming Magic Movers book, Archie has many toy animal friends, but pull a tab and his big stuffed elephant turns into a tiny toy mouse--and his colorful toy parrot disappears, replaced by a fluffy gray kangaroo. When toddlers pull the tabs on the right-hand pages of Magic Movers books, a bright and cheerful picture is magically transformed into a brand-new image! Very young children will learn to recognize and name toys, foods, familiar household objects, and pet animals. They'll also learn to identify shapes, colors, and numbers. Each pull-tab operates "Venetian-blind-style" sliding slats--for instance, transforming a toy giraffe into a toy zebra. The easy text that accompanies every illustration is just right for reading aloud to toddlers.
