Color Surprises
If only words could describeChuck Murphy's Color Surprisesas  well as his gasp-inducing pop-ups manage to capture the essence of each color of  the rainbow. Each page of this little wonder--one of the best, most artistic  pop-up books we've ever seen--features a single, solid-colored square. With a  quick pull or gentle push, however, one of nature's creatures slithers, flies,  or bounces out of the square and (almost) off the page. Red is a gracefully  unfolding starfish, and blue is a pleasantly popping parrot. We'd love to give  the rest away, but half the pleasure of this fine book is in the discovery. A  great gift for any adult on your list, but kids who like animals (meaning all  kids) will love it, too.(Ages 3 to 103)
