"...uses a 'magic finger' to help point readers to the right answer for a series of questions...on topics ranging from the plant world to the human body to technology. Readers place the 'magic finger' in a groove on the left-hand page so that it points to the question they'd like...answered, then move the finger to the right-hand page where it indicates the correct response...Full-color photographs and factoid captions deliver additional information..."--Publishers Weekly. "...a very special book....It is amazing that as long as the magic finger is lined up correctly, every time you use it, it will give you the right answer. Reviewing this book was a blast. The questions in it are interesting, too."--New York Newsday.

Santa, toys, and plenty of joy: Christmas comes brilliantly to life in these magical pages. Down the chimney Santa arrives, with his bag of presents on Christmas Eve. When his work is done, he turns to go...but who can resist such wonderful gifts? Play along with him as he pushes a little engine on its railroad track: clackety, clack, give it a ride by sliding the tab. Make toy soldiers march--their arms and legs really move!--and peek in the dollhouse by opening the flap. Soon all the toys make lots of noise. Then, "Hush" says an angel, for it's time to sleep. Shut little bear's eyes, wish Santa good night, and listen as a voice calls from above the quiet room--"Merry Christmas to all"...and a ho, ho ho!
