Pull the tabs—what will you find? There’s something fun
hiding on every page!
Small Smaller Smallest
Corina Fletcher / Natalie Marshall
When kids pull the tabs, what will they see? Differences in size and quantity. A pretty
flower grows tall, taller, tallest. Snowflakes fall low . . . lower . . . lowest, as they hit the
ground. And a caterpillar becomes long . . . longer . . . longest! Every spread has a pull-tab,
so preschoolers can master this fun concept.
Up Down Across
Corina Fletcher / Natalie Marshall
Where are you? And where are you going? With a pull of the tab, preschoolers can
happily gaze at otters as they swim below, beside, or above each other; watch one
octopus emerge from behind another who was in front; and see polar bears up on a
snowdrift, sliding across the ice. What a cool, interactive way for kids to grasp the
concept of location!
Corina Fletcher is an award-winning paper engineer who has been creating amazing pop-up
books for almost 20 years. Corina first studied Graphic Design at Central St. Martins School
of Art and went on to earn her Masters in Visual Communication at the Royal College of

PEEKABOO!
What’s hiding behind the holes? There’s something new every time you turn the page!
Part guessing game, part novelty, these books are sure to please young readers.
- Die-cut holes throughout the book reveal something new and exciting with each turn of the page!
- Colorful and adorable illustrations throughout
- Similar to the Look & See series, which has sold nearly half-a-million copies
At Night
It’s nighttime—what will you find? A cat soundlessly walking the rooftops, a teddy bear to cuddle, a
blanket to snuggle, and a mobile that twirls and sings. And over it all a silvery moon, shining down
on a sleepy child. Sweet dreams!
Farm Animals
Come to the farm, where the animals live. Can you peek through the holes and guess what creatures are
there? Meet a hopping bunny, a sweet pink pig, a cow that gives milk, a cheeping chick, and a strutting
rooster crowing “cock-a-doodle-do!” And who plays with them? A child like YOU.
Knock, Knock, Who Lives Here?
“Knock, knock!” Come on in, and find out who lives in these special homes. From a baby bird in a nest to
a scampering squirrel to a camouflaged caterpillar blending in with the leaves, these animals are part of a
fun guessing game that introduces preschoolers to some sweet creatures they might meet in their own
backyard.
Look at Me
Open the book—what do you see? Lots of animals saying, “Look at me!” A kitty purrs sleepily on the sofa,
an owl takes flight in the night, a wolf wanders the woods, a bunny hops, a butterfly rests on a flower, and
a child runs and plays. Kids will love trying to figure out what’s hidden before they turn the page.

with his new friends!

How Penguin Says Please!
Abigail Samoun, illustrated by Sarah Watts
Por favor, s’il vous plaît, ching: this adorable board book teaches preschoolers how to say “please” in
seven languages! Join Penguin as she enjoys pastries in France, explores the Hermitage in Russia, sees
Mount Fuji in Japan and the Pyramids in Egypt, buys fish in China, sips chai in India, visits relatives in
Argentina—and remembers her manners everywhere she goes!
How Tiger Says Thank You!
Abigail Samoun, illustrated by Sarah Watts
Spasibo, arigato, shukran, merci! Tiger’s taking a trip—and everywhere she goes, from the market in
Moscow to a boat on Egypt’s Nile River, she says “thank you” to the friendly people she meets. And, as
they follow her round the world, children will learn to how to say thanks in seven different languages, too:
French, Russian, Arabic, Hindi, Mandarin, Japanese, and Spanish. Each “please” word is translated and
has a pronunciation guide, and an illustrated map follows Tiger’s travels.
Abigail Samoun has edited books that received the CCBC Charlotte Zolotow award, SCBWI Golden Kite
award, Pura Belpre Honor, Smithsonian Notable, and NYPL Ezra Jack Keats award. She also edited the

What’s in Your Purse?, illustrated by Nathalie Dion, was published in spring 2014 by Chronicle. Abigail lives
in Sonoma, CA, with her husband and son.
Sarah Watts went to Ringling College of Art and Design where she studied with many great instructors.

career as an independent illustrator, and her clients include Simon & Schuster, Houghton Mifflin Harcourt,

joke. And it’s also a universal truth (and

their own farts. Animal Gas explores this hilarious
concept through a parade of animals who describe
why they don’t think their own farts stink—against the
truth about how they REALLY smell!

gazes lovingly into Big Sister’s face, she knows that NO ONE can take his place! This funny, endearing
picture book captures just how it feels when a new sibling arrives.
Anthea Simmons studied at St. Hugh’s College, Oxford. Following a high-flying career in the city, she now
lives in Devon, England, where, as well as writing poetry and children’s stories, she teaches English as a
foreign language to adults from all over the world.

- The book is compact and gift-sized with a soft finish, ideal for young children to share with
toddler siblings!

PLAY AND DRAW
These entertaining activity books come with stencils, a ruler, and more to draw with!
Kids will have hours of fun creating and coloring in pictures.
Animals at Play
Kids can draw a soaring owl, grazing cow, pink-eared bunny, hungry fox, and mama duck with her
ducklings! It’s easy with the six stencil pages—and each stencil includes TWO different backgrounds to
choose from, too.
Fairy Tales
Once upon a time . . . there was a wonderful drawing book filled with fantastical creatures (like dragons!)
and beautiful castles. Children can make this magical world their own by using the six stencil pages
to color in and fill out the different scenes and characters—including Puss ‘n’ Boots, the Big Bad Wolf,
Cinderella, and Snow White.
Wild Animals
Spend a day in the wild with a menagerie of playful critters! Kids will have some jungle fun drawing a
roaring lion, mischievous monkeys, sleepy elephants, a snapping crocodile, and other animals. With the six
stencil pages and other tools to help them personalize the pictures, young artists can let their imaginations
run free.

Ellen Giggenbach
The zoo awaits you! With more than 40 models of wildlife and their habitats, children can construct a
wonderful animal world. Once it’s built, the fun continues as young storytellers make up their own tales:
Will visitors see the dolphin show, buy an ice cream, or help find a lost baby penguin? Kids can go as far as
their imaginations take them!
Ellen Giggenbach was born in Bavaria, and the region’s folk art traditions continue to inform and inspire her
work. Using old stationery, wallpaper, and fabric, Ellen creates each of her decorative and vibrant collages
by hand. She lives in Germany.
- The book doubles as a toy! Every page, including the covers, cleverly transforms into a play zoo
- Easy-to-follow instructions to create over 40 separate models—no tape or glue needed. All the sturdy
pieces press out and slot together.
- Includes ideas to inspire and encourage children to create their own stories
- Beautiful collage artwork brings this zoo to bustling life
