Caldecott Medal winner Paul O. Zelinsky's first moving-parts book since the best-selling Wheels on the Bus is a beauty. To the verses of "This Old Man," an ingenious visual narrative follows a young boy as he ventures outside. Along the way, children can push tabs, turn wheels, or lift flaps to see ten different old men pop out of hiding to play Knick-Knack. Children (and critics) agree that Knick-Knack Paddywhack! takes the interactive book to a new level of imagination. ? Smithsonian magazine Notable Book for Children 2002 ?

Numbers & nonsense have never been so much fun as they are in this brilliant moving-parts book by Caldecott Medalist Paul O. Zelinsky. A young boy sets out on a walk -- pull the tabs & tiny old men from One to Ten act out the familiar refrain of the traditional counting song on & all around him. As dogs chase bones & old men roll home, paper doesn't simply pop up -- it seems virtually animated. The spectacular numerical extravaganza of motion at the end gives a whole new meaning to the idea of playing knick-knack. The words & music to the song are on the back cover.
