Aimed at tots up to 3 years old, Little Scholastic board books combine elementary concepts with interactive touch-and-feel elements, simple rhymes and familiar objects; and in How to Build a Snowman ($9.99 from Amazon.com), kids will enjoy touching the slick carrot, the fuzzy scarf and the shiny snowflakes that ultimately come together to help make the friendly title character. It's a wee bit bigger than your average toddler board book, too (8 inches square), so there's plenty of room for little fingers to probe.
