Pocoyo: Ready, Steady, Go!

Based on the animated Spanish TV show, this interactive book, first published in the U.K., features the show's four star characters as they appear on-screen: in eye-catching 3-D against white backgrounds. Pocoyo, a cherubic boy, and his elephant friend, Elly, decide to have a race at the urging of Pato, a yellow duck. Liftable flaps move the story forward (amid a few bumps, twists, and turns) before Pocoyo and Elly realize that teamwork can be as rewarding as competition. Additional flap and board books are also available. Ages 4–8. (Jan.)
