Children discover the world around them when they play. They discover in nature what they will later learn to call science. Our books feed this joyous approach to life.

 



 

The Empty Box
This year, when Grandpa puts Caspian’s special Unbirthday box under his bed, it’s empty.
Grandpa insists that he has given Caspian an Invisible Magic Wand® Caspian has to name it before it will work.
“Maybe,” says Caspian.
“Good name,” says Grandpa. “Nobody will get suspicious.”
Caspian’s hand tingles.
Caspian learns how to squeeze time, so he can move quickly and how to stretch time so he can make things he enjoys last.
Things are Shaking
Caspian and his cousin Belinda are visiting Grandpa’s house. Belinda wants an Invisible Magic Wand, just like Caspian’s. The wand allows the children to speed up time, or slow it down. While Grandpa is getting the wand, an earthquake shakes the house. Thanks to the wands, all three escape, unscathed.
Caspian's Unbirthday

Grandpa always gives Caspian a Silly Present for his Unbirthday

This year his Special Unbirthday present brown socks. Caspian is disappointed.
