Colors

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.)
