Important Advisory:
We are now requiring companies to provide us with documentation that their products have been tested by an independent lab for phthalates and lead.
Please click here for submission requirements for new products. However, as we are not a lab, we will not be independently verifying those
results. Also, with the exception of the 2008 Platinum Toy Awards, toys
submitted for review prior to January 2008 were not tested for lead.

Explore Within a Medieval Castle
|
(by Justine Ciovacco/designed by Brandon Walker,et ,
Silver Dolphin Books$$21.95$
)
An interesting book with a playful format. As the pages are turned the layers of the castle opens to reveal the inner workings of a Medieval setting. Each of the rigid pages is packed with small headings with a paragraph that tells the young reader some pithy facts. This is a book for browsing, not reading from front to back. It's well designed to hold the interest of beginners who want the facts without being overwhelmed. A nice balance here! Age:
Late School Years.

Moon Landing
|
(by Richard Platt and David Hawcock,
Candlewick
$$29.99$
)
If you teach kids today, chances are they will disbelieve the idea that people have actually been to the moon. It happened so long ago, it seems more like a fictional story than reality, to school aged kids. Enter, Moon Landing, a stunning pop-up book that should remove any doubts from the minds of young people. This is sure to be a pleasing book for parents and grandparents—a way to share with kids your memories of this monumental time when Neil Armstrong sent the message..."Houston, Tranquility Base here. The Eagle has landed." This over-sized book is full of NASA photos and facts along with wow-ee kinds of paper engineering. Buy it for your coffee table and share it with visitors of all ages. Age:
Early School Years,
Late School Years,
Tweens,
Adults.

Robert Crowther Pop-Up House of Inventions
|
(by Robert Crowther,
Candlewick
$$17.99$
)
Kids often don't even think about the fact that there have not always been zippers, email, mirrors or soap. In a clever pop-up format, Crowther creates six typical rooms of a house and labels the many typical items in each room with thumbnail bits of information about inventions. This update is not radically different from the original. It's still a fun book for sparking an interest in history and how things were. 6 & up.
Age:
Early School Years,
Late School Years.
