Richard Scarry's Mr. Frumble's Biggest Hat Flap Book Ever! (Richard Scarry's Best Books Ever!)

Mr. Frumble likes his green hat so much that he makes it a special little bed, right next to his own. So when a big gust of wind blows his hat out the window, he is quite distressed. Richard Scarry's oversized board book Mr. Frumble's Biggest Hat Flap Book tracks the pig's pursuit of his cherished chapeau through the streets of Busytown. Cameo appearances by familiar Scarry characters such as Lowly Worm will delight youngsters almost as much as the big flaps with their visual punch lines hiding beneath. (The hat being squashed by a road roller, for example.) Curiously inventive vehicles from a car shaped like a doughnut ("Doughn't They Taste Good!") to a toothbrush mobile are also sure to be a hit with the car-and-truck crowd.

I'm The Biggest Thing in the Ocean

I'm The Biggest Thing in the Ocean

Price: $13.65 (as of 2014-01-03 - Details)



PreS–A lighthearted, clever story presented in an oversize, colorful package. A bright blue giant squid cruises through the ocean, proudly noting that he is bigger than all the creatures he encounters. From shrimp to shark, he repeats his refrain, I'm bigger than…, sounding remarkably similar to a three-year-old cheerfully cataloging his world. Briefly dismayed when swallowed by a voracious whale (who has also swallowed up everyone else whole including the shark), the squid rallies by noting, I'm the biggest thing in this whale! This buoyant tale, filled with nonthreatening cartoonish denizens of the deep blue (and turquoise and green) sea, makes no effort to be realistic or educational but just simple fun, which is its charm. (Note the squid on the back cover proudly stating that he is bigger than the bar code.) –Susan Moorhead, New Rochelle Public Library, NY Copyright © Reed Business Information, a division of Reed Elsevier Inc.
