Super Size This!

Here’s to super sizing you’ll feel good about. James Diaz and Melanie Gerth’s series of jumbo books (shown: "My First Jumbo Book of Numbers") offers big, sturdy pages packed with colorful illustrations and lots of objects and colors to name. Babes will delight in the flaps, pull tabs, sliding pieces, pop ups, and wheels.

A steal at $9.95, you'll be eager to expand your jumbo books collection to include the letters, colors, shapes, things that go, and dinosaur books. I picked up my jumbo books at Maxima Gift Center (locations in Arlington and Waltham, replete with cool gifts for both babies and adults); the series also is available at Amazon.
