Play with Your Plate! (A Mix-and-Match Play Book)
Written and illustrated by award-winning author illustrator Judith Rossell
Play with Your Plate! is an innovative and interactive mix and match board book that can be used to introduce colors, (red watermelon, green peas) and shapes (triangle kiwi, round carrots) to the youngest of readers.
Inside the front cover are four miniature board books that open toward the middle and, when open, make up a plate of food. More than 4,000 healthy mealtime combinations can be made by mixing and matching all four quarters of the book!
“Can you make a plate of only triangles or circles?” the book asks. “Can you make a plate of only vegetables and fruits?”
Now kids of all ages can have fun “playing with their food” with this brightly colored, sweetly illustrated book!
How Big Is Zagnodd?
Written and illustrated by Sandra Boynton
“How big is Baby? Baby’s SO big!” is a common game played with littles beginning at an early age. Well, now New York Times best-selling author Sandra Boynton brings us yet another silly board book that answers the question of just how big Zagnodd really is. (Would you believe he’s SO big!)
Joining extraterrestrial Zagnodd are many of his wild friends from outer space … and then there’s Steve (spoiler alert: he’s human). But Zagnodd’s friends aren’t SO big. They are SO bright, SO fuzzy, SO sleepy and more.
Children will love the cute, colorful illustrations of Zagnodd and his fun friends.
Sandra Boynton has sold more than 30 million copies of her books, including three books that are on the Publisher’s Weekly All-Time Bestselling Children’s Books list and two that are Publisher’s Weekly bestsellers.
Whose Nose? (Part of the Whose Are These? series)
Written by Sue Tarsky, illustrated by Michael Garton
Whose Nose? is a darling compilation of large, brightly colored illustrations of various animals’ noses, coupled with clues as to where they might live.
There are narrow noses, long noses, wet noses and big noses in this new nonfiction series for young ones.
The inside covers of the book showcase illustrations of the animals whose noses are depicted within the book, providing another opportunity for teaching kids about animals both wild and tame.
With bright colors and large images, the volume invites little children to cuddle with their adult while learning about the world around them.
Whose Tail? is another book in the series. It shows various animals’ tails, from farm animals to zoo animals. That book, like Whose Nose?, also utilizes large, brightly colored illustrations that kids will enjoy.
