A Magic Color Book: Jungle Art Show

Shaheen Bilgrami. Sterling/Pinwheel, $5.95 (10pp) ISBN 978-1-4027-0206-8

Creative creatures star in the paper-over-board Jungle Art Show by Shaheen Bilgrami, illus. by Patrick Girouard, part of the Magic Color Books series. The animals draw pictures of each other and their b&w sketches appear behind an acetate screen. When readers pull the tab the drawing slides to the right, transformed into color. In Farmyard Painting Party, from the same team, the animals enjoy rainy day arts and crafts.
