Big Nose, Small Nose

Steve Augarde. Brighter Child, $5.95 (0pp) ISBN 978-0-7696-3337-4

A friendly purple monster on the cover helps kids learn using wheels and flaps with four titles in the Silly Monsters series by Steve Augarde. In Purple Eyes, kids turn a wheel to find the correct color eyes to correspond with each animal, while related flaps hide like-colored objects. Big Nose, Small Nose hilariously teaches opposites as the rotating wheel swaps noses and tails for different animals: ""The dinosaur's tail is heavy, but the rabbit's tail is"" (The answer, ""light,"" hides behind a flap.) Hello, Moon and One Paper Hat teach shapes and numbers, respectively. .
