Board Book

Suggested for ages 1-4

Meet Egg. Cuter than a button, enormously personable, and talented, too. Say “sit,” and Egg sits. Good Egg! Say “roll over,” and egg rolls over. What a good Egg! Of course, Egg does all of this with a toddler’s help, who lifts the flaps and pulls the tabs and operates the wiggle behind the wiggle-waggle. But that’s the most fun part: interacting with the Egg.

Then comes the pay-off. “Speak!” is the command, and children will crack up in delight. $9.95

The Water Hole

The Water Hole Board Book
Written & illustrated by Graeme Base
Babies, Toddlers, Preschoolers

Graeme Base’s fun, bestselling environmental counting book is now an innovative board book!

Children will love counting from one to ten as animals of the world gather around a water hole. As one rhino gives way to two tigers, then three toucans, and so on, up to ten kangaroos, die-cut pages reveal the water hole in ten different worldwide habitats, from the African plains to the Himalaya mountains to the Australian Outback. Careful readers will find additional animals, many of them endangered, silhouetted in the borders of every spread and hiding within every landscape. $9.95
