Get The Children's Book of Magic Before It Vanishes!


    

Have you ever watched a magician do a trick or perform an illusion that looked so real? My son wants to be that guy, and has a genuine interest in magic. 

The Children's Book of Magic is a brand new book that just came out this past September. It's geared for kids ages 7-10 years of age, and is a 128 page instruction, information and history book on magic and illusions. This oversized book measures almost a foot long and 10" wide and is reminiscent of a spellbook that Harry Potter would use. Only a heck of a lot more modern!

Whether you want to learn how to stack a deck, make a coin disappear (something my husband says I'm good at while at the mall! LOL), predict cards or perform a rope trick, this books is for you! There are 20 tricks in the book, covering 8 schools of magic. Each one has step by step written and pictorial instructions to help your little Houdini prepare, practice and perform the act. You will also find a list of supplies needed to perform each trick, most of which can be found in your home.

Kids can read up on historical magicians and illusionists and learn the history behind magic as far back as the Romans, Aztecs, cavemen and ancient China. It provides information on seeing into the future, prophecies, rituals, etc, an extensive glossary, as well as a layout on tools of the trade.

The Children's Book of Magic retails in Canada for approximately $20.99CAN. You can find it in local bookstores and in the DK Books Canada Holiday Boutique. Get it before it vanishes!

Annabel Karmel Fans Will Love Her Memory Book for Babies!

 

http://cn.dk.com/nf/Book/BookDisplay/0,,11_9780756637231,00.html
Annabel Karmel, the famed author of recipe books for babies starting solids, has yet another great book on the market! Introducing Baby’s First Year - Memories forLife!

I have used several of her cookbooks in the past to help guide starting my baby on solids, but I never knew she had a memory book! I have been recording all of my 2nd child’s stats and firsts in a scrapbook, however this memory book would have made things so much easier, and nicer!

First off, it’s hardcover, which is great for this type of keepsake. It’s got entries for all of the typical stats one would expect to find, and others that are special too! It allows you to keep detailed records of the birth, what was happening in the world on the day he or she was born, as well as all the usual monthly milestones. There is even a section to document the baby’s family tree!  You can find many spots to attach photographs, and there is also an adorable little envelope to put your baby’s first locks of hair, etc...

Its beautiful images are appropriate for either gender, and are abundant throughout the book. It also includes a beautiful yellow ribbon to mark your spot as you work on documenting your little one’s firsts. If you are having a Baptism or other religious commemoration, or if you want to document their 1st Christmas, there is a spot for that too!  And the same for his or her 1st birthday!

And another great feature? Annabel Karmel shares some of her recipes in the book, notably her Dark and White Chocolate Cupcakes that are suitable for your little one’s 1st birthday party!

Whether you yourself are expecting, looking to document your baby’s 1st year, or simply searching for a baby shower gift, this is one memory book that keeps on giving. Visit DK Book's April Boutique for more pregnancy & baby titles! 30% Off for a limited time!
