Reach for this book when your child is transitioning from simple naming games to more complex lateral thinking and imaginative play. While it technically teaches colors, its true value lies in sparking curiosity and rewarding observation through its clever lift-the-flap design. It is a perfect choice for parents who want to foster a sense of wonder and mental flexibility during storytime. The book uses whimsical, Ogden Nash-style verse to present riddles about colors that are not quite what they seem. On every page, a simple splash of color is transformed into a hidden animal or 'Animagical' through a flap reveal. It is an ideal tool for toddlers and preschoolers who are beginning to appreciate humor and the joy of being surprised by a visual twist.
