On the Space Station, A-Shine-A-Light Books
What is life like on a space station? Shine a light behind the page and see . . . What do the astronauts do in space? What do they eat? Where do they sleep? What do they wear? Each page-turn will take you another step forward on this exciting tour of a space station.
The amazing see-through pages in this gorgeously illustrated non-fiction series offer benefits similar to lift-the-flaps books, (that is, they're great for early development, they deal with the idea of object permanence), but our Secrets books have the added interactive dimension of the child being able to see the surface and the hidden picture at the same time. Both a visual treat and lots of fun, all of our Shine-a-Light books also offer a glossary and additional information about their subjects, making them non-fiction gift books like no other.
Now comes Bananagrams! The Official Book, which translates the brain-twisting word fun of the game onto the page, and adds much, much more. Even if you've never dipped your hand into the Bananagrams pouch, the book stands on its own with hours of challenging play. Written by the only three-time National Scrabble Champion, Joe Edley, Bananagrams! offers sixteen clever puzzle types, including Banana Trees, where the object is to build word grids based on a theme; Banana Splits, a collection of four quick anagram puzzles to be solved in rapid-fire style; Banana Leaves, with its four-, five-, six- and seven-letter words; Banana Filling—what happens when you add a "K"?; and more. The puzzles have four levels of difficulty, from one banana to four bananas. Plus, there are glossaries; special strategies for Bananagrams: The Game; a list of "Weords"—weird words that are cool to play; two- and three-letter words to take your game to the next level; fun banana facts; and, of course, an answer key.

I Got This! by Fat Brain Toy Co.
2017 Parents' Choice Award Winner - Silver
Get ready to bounce, toss, balance, roll, hop, and laugh!
It's up to you to match your confidence with your competence as you lay it all on the line to prove you can complete the challenges and rack up the most points over nine rounds of play.
The first player rolls the die and then reads aloud the corresponding challenge card. "Flick the button through the ring!"
First, everyone marks a check by the number of points they want to try and win.
Feeling confident? Check nine points. Not so much? Check one point. Feeling like you can conquer the world? Why not play the I Got This card to double your potential points?
Once all the scorecards are marked - Start flicking, tossing, balancing, measuring, guestimating, or whatever else the challenge entails.
Successfully complete the challenge? Woohoo! You get to circle the number you marked and keep it as points at the end of the game!
Things didn't go quite as planned? You'll have to cross out that number and cut your losses - OR, if you're convinced all you need is just one more try, you COULD use your Do Over card.
But be careful! You can only use it once!
Keep on playing through the nine rounds of ego-humbling challenges. Once every number on everyone's cards is either circled or crossed out, add up your points and announce your scores.
The player with the most points wins!
Fun, funny, and challenging in ways you've never imagined, I Got This is sure to become an instant family game night favorite.
