Shhh--there are whispers in the woodland. Crackles in the wind. Soon it will be nighttime-the dark is coming in. Bear and cub cuddle up; baby bear shuts his sleepy eyes. Listen to the wolves; they're singing lullabies. The mice are very busy plumping up their nests; soon they'll be done and ready for their rest. Hungry squirrels enjoy a bedtime snack; listen to them crunch and crack. But, the bats are waking up-they've slept all through the day. Is it dark enough yet for them to fly away? It is quiet. It is late. Good night, sleep tight-it's bedtime for the animals and little boys and girls, too!

Get to the bottom of what’s at the bottom of the sea. When children accompany Mr. Baker’s science class to the aquarium, they’ll meet and find out all about a variety of fascinating underwater life. A simple pull of the tab reveals the skeletons of such ocean creatures as the spiny, stinging lionfish; the giant 8-foot-long, 1,500-pound sea turtle; and the manta ray, which looks like a huge blanket gliding through the water. There’s even an amazing killer whale in the final exhibit. Every one of these incredible marine animals is a sight to behold.

The book is mini—but the magic is still BIG. Just like their larger counterpart, the Mini Magic Color board books feature tabs that turn the world on the page bright and beautiful. And on this pleasant trip down to the farm, young children can become familiar with both colors and animal names, all while enjoying every delightful moment. They’ll see Pig, first in black and white, and then in her real pretty pink shade. Rooster changes into beautiful brown, red, and green, and Horse transforms into soft gray. Every pull of the tab will delight toddlers.

Oooh--the dinosaurs are worried, the dinosaurs are scared: the big one's about with the sharp, sharp teeth and loud roaring shout. When they see him coming the pterodactyls fly up high in the sky, while the stegasaurs stay silent, hoping he'll pass them by. The babies stay hidden in their shells, while the gallimimus lifts his tail and runs so he'll be far away when the huge one comes. The roar is coming louder, the footsteps are quite near. Who could it be that makes the other dinos tremble with fear? Guess who: It's the T-Rex, and he's here for YOU. But don't worry: you've got the tabs, you're in control. Children will have a blast with their favorite prehistoric creatures.

Let's go for a swim and say hello to a few of the undersea creatures. They come in the most wonderful colors--once the tab is pulled, that is. Flat, flat Stingray is green with big blue spots, and he's playing catch with purple Octopus. Soon they're both chasing after gray and white Dolphin, Angelfish, with her yellow with black stripes, and the fastest of all: the fierce dark blue Shark.

A mini book with major creature-feature fun! A menagerie of friendly jungle animals turns bright and multihued in a child-pleasing interactive board book. All the beasts and birds are making their way through the lush landscape towards the water hole. What color could each one be—the lion, tiger, elephant, parrot, and flamingo? A pull of the tab reveals the brilliant truth: shades of lovely yellow, beautiful black-and-orange stripes, gentle gray, radiant red and green, and perfect pink. Every page is pure magic.

Kittens and bunnies and puppies--what could be nicer? These are kids' favorites, the animals they know and love best. What colors could they be? Sometimes children will know instantly: the canary is bright yellow, of course. But figuring out the others makes a great guessing game. Could the cat be black? Or orange? No: she's soft gray and white. Each picture includes simple, basic facts about the pet.
