The zoo is closed and all seems quiet, but take a closer look. Lion is taking a stroll, Kangaroo is having dinner at the café, and none of the animals are in their cages! With the help of 17 amazing animal magnets, children can help a whole zoo have fun. Together they'll cool off in the pool, visit other animals, and freely explore the zoo when no one is around. At the end of the day, children can help match grown up animals to their babies for a night of rest. They'll need it…tomorrow they'll be doing it all over again! Book features include--Heavy card-stock pages with metallic inner linings to attract the refrigerator-style magnetic picturesA compartment to hold magnetsA handy plastic carrying handle set in the book's spineA clasp to keep the book closed when playtime is overHours of zoo-keeping fun!

This cheerful farmyard picture book comes with 15 loose lithographed, magnetic animals to keep toddlers amused for hours. The animals have backings like those on refrigerator magnets. The book's glossy and extra-heavy pages each have a metallic interior that will hold the animal magnets in place. All four of its double-page, full-color illustrations picture Farmer Muddle, his family, and his animals at various times of day. What makes the pictures unusual is the fact that most of the animals are missing from them. It's up to children to use the set of animal magnets and complete each scene in any way that pleases them. The animals include a goat, a sheep, a horse, a pig, a cow, a dog, a cat, a duck, a rabbit, some chickens, a pair of mice, and even a butterfly! Kids simply open the book and slide open the barn door on the inside front cover. There they'll find the animal magnets. The book has a sturdy red plastic carrying handle attached to its spine and a matching red tab to keep the covers closed when kids carry it around.

Full-page color illustrations on two-page spreads present fascinating scenes of undersea activity for young children. They will see schools of colorful fish, divers, underwater plants, and more, with easy text that explains each scene. But the feature that makes this book extra special is the enclosed set of refrigerator-style magnets, each one showing a fish, octopus, eel, turtle, and other sea creatures that kids can attach to the pictures in any way that they please. Each of the book's heavy card-stock pages has a metallic inner lining to attract the magnetic pictures. Extra features include a plastic carrying handle set in the book's spine and a clasp to keep the book closed when it's time to put it away. Younger children will enjoy hours of make-believe underwater fun with this very unusual and highly entertaining book.

A book designed with split pages so that animals can be put together with different tops and bottoms, and also enabling them to have a corresponding mixed up name eg an animal made of half cow half elephant, suddenly has the name cophant, the animal that has a top half rhinocerous, and bottom half tortoise, not only is formed in a picture, but is accompanied by the name rhinotoise. On the opposite page it also has descriptions, that change to 'half and half' descriptions for the 'newly produced' animal.
