Authors: By Pantone Imprint: Abrams Appleseed COLORS 9781419701801 BOX OF COLOR 978-1-4197-0419-2 About COLORS This artful first colors book introduces children to 9 basic colors and 20 shades of each. Readers will immerse themselves in the concept that one color name actually refers to a variety of dark, light, and in-between tones. Young children will begin by simply naming the colors of the monochromatic images and will soon grow to select their favorite and least-favorite shades. Pantone: Colors is a visually pleasing way to expand the colors conversation and develop a child s sense of visual discrimination. Pantone revolutionized the graphic arts industry with the launch, in 1963, of the PANTONE MATCHING SYSTEM, which enabled designers and printers to articulate and reproduce accurate color anywhere in the world. This system achieved global acceptance and quickly became the standard in color naming and matching. Today, Pantone serves not only as the premier color consultant and authority on trends but also as a consumer brand in apparel, housewares, accessories, arts and crafts, stationery and office supplies, home furnishings, electronics, and apps.

Authors: By Seymour Chwast Imprint: Abrams Appleseed 9781419701078 Trim Size: 6 1/2 x 9 3/4 Page Count: 18 Cover: Hardcover Illustrations: Full-color illustrations, with gatefolds Seymour Chwast celebrates the daily routine of getting dressed in this fittingly whimsical and satisfyingly unique novelty book. Unlike more traditional books on this topic that deal with the how of getting dressed, Get Dressed! instead tackles the why. The text Get dressed to read about dragons accompanies an illustration of a boy dressed in a makeshift knight costume. A girl in full floral garb stands in a garden alongside the text Get dressed to hide. The book features half and full gatefolds, which foreshadow the items of clothing to be seen and provide surprise reveals on each spread. With a die-cut magnetic closure, even the cover invites readers to peek inside!
Authors: By Claudia Rueda Imprint: Abrams Appleseed 9781419701702 Trim Size: 9 x 9 Page Count: 32 Cover: Hardcover Illustrations: Full-color illustrations This interactive retelling of the Three Little Pigs story allows the reader to play the part of the big bad wolf. Three interior die-cut holes invite readers to huff, puff, and blow the pigs houses down! This fractured fairy tale ends sweetly when, rather than blowing down the third pig s brick home, the wolf/reader blows out the candles on a cake baked by the pigs! A satisfying and engaging read for every young Three Little Pigs fan.
Authors: By Julia Pimsleur Levine Imprint: Abrams Appleseed Numbers 9781419701757 Animals 9781419701740 Also available Feelings 9781419700187 Colors 9781419700170 Trim Size: 6 3/4 x 6 3/4 Page Count: 10 Illustrations: Full-color illustrations and photographs Little Pim interactive language-learning series, featuring English, Spanish, and French. About the author Little Pim was created in 2006 by Julia Pimsleur Levine, a mom who grew up bilingual and was looking for fun ways to introduce her young son to the French language. When she could not find any high-quality DVDs for teaching toddlers a foreign language, she decided to create them herself something for which she was uniquely qualified, as a filmmaker, language instructor, and mother. Pimsleur Levine was inspired in part by having grown up in the language-teaching business. Her father, Dr. Paul Pimsleur, created one of the most popular and acclaimed language-instruction methods for adults. Creating Little Pim was her way of carrying on the family tradition of raising bilingual kids and sharing that love of learning with other families.
