Book Review
If only words could describe Chuck Murphy's Color Surprises as well as his gasp-inducing pop-ups manage to capture the essence of each color of the rainbow. Each page of this little wonder--one of the best, most artistic pop-up books we've ever seen--features a single, solid-colored square. With a quick pull or gentle push, however, one of nature's creatures slithers, flies, or bounces out of the square and (almost) off the page. Red is a gracefully unfolding starfish, and blue is a pleasantly popping parrot. We'd love to give the rest away, but half the pleasure of this fine book is in the discovery. A great gift for any adult on your list, but kids who like animals (meaning all kids) will love it, too. (Ages 3 to 103)

Book Review
Creator and engineer of the elegant Color Surprises and Black Cat, White Cat: A Pop-Up Book of Opposites, Chuck Murphy has also crafted an amazingly simple yet beautiful counting book, One to Ten: Pop-Up Surprises! This counting book doesn't mess around with fancy rhymes or cutesy sheep--open the first spread and you'll see a bold, fat number one--white on black--right next to a bold black number two on a white page. Pull the number one down, and one tropical spotted frog swims off the page! Lift and turn the number two to the right, and two toucans pop out from a leafy nest. Three colorful beetles crawl out of the number three with the slide of a tab. You get the idea--Murphy's almost breathtaking pop-up surprises take readers all the way to the number ten. Pop-up book collectors and budding bean counters alike will revel... |

Reviewed with Chuck Murphy's Slide 'n Seek: Opposites.Ages 1-5. Great for the lap-sit audience, these small, square, interactive board books in the Slide 'n Seek series have pull-out panels on each page with hidden pictures that reveal surprising connections to point at and talk about. The first page in Opposites shows a small girl going down the stairs; pull the tab at the top of the page, and there's a picture of a boy going up the stairs. A candy jar is full; pull the tab, and the candy jar is empty. In the book on shapes, the first page shows and names a circle; pull the tab, and there's a tricycle with wheels. Murphy does the same thing with other shapes: see the shape, name it, and then pull the tab to recognize the shape in everyday things. The colors are clear and bright; the uncluttered design is sturdy enough to... |

Two books in the Slide 'N' Seek series by Chuck Murphy also feature sliding covers and pages. In Colors, children slide open a color square to discover an animal associated with that color. For example, a red square with different shaped circles provides clues to the ladybug hidden underneath; an orange striped square slides open to reveal a tiger. In Counting, a large numeral accompanies the number spelled out on each page. Youngsters slide open the numeral five to discover five jeweled rings and underneath 10, the last page, are 10 blocks with the numbers 1-10, so they can review the numbers all over again. (Mar.)
