Colors All Around

. Piggy Toes Press, $5.95 (0pp) ISBN 978-1-58117-277-5

Two Turn & Pop Books by Teresa Imperato, illus. by Valeria Petrone, help kids learn colors and numbers. In Colors All Around, the text asks, ""This ocean creature has a big, flat tail. What color is this giant whale?"" A turn of a cardboard dial makes the answer (""blue"") pop up from the top of the page. How Many Ducks in a Row uses the same format (plus a rhyme to complete) to help readers count up to 10 (""How many bees in a hive? five"").
