Publishers Summmary:

Ruby can make the ordinary extraordinary! Come skate on a shimmering pond, roll a giant snowball, sled down a snowy hill, and create soaring snow angels with her as she becomes a snow queen and transforms a typical winter day into a gleaming-beaming fairy tale. Combining glorious watercolors, elegant paper engineering, and whimsical storytelling, this joyful novelty picture book is sure to enchant children and adults.

Littlebug Thinks It’s Lovely: “Sparkles, snowflakes, snowmen and swirls! It’s so so pretty. My favoritest parts are making Ruby skate across the ice and make snow angels. I could move her around all day long! Her little doggie is so cute too! You know what the best part is though? Ruby’s coat is pink!!! I love pink and so does Ruby. I really want some stripped tights like hers too, those would be so neat!

“Razzle-Dazzle Ruby is such a fun book and it’s so pretty too! At the very end you get to help Ruby get cozy at home and my favorite is taking off her coat. You should try it too, I think you’d have a lot of fun!”

Mom’s Two Cents: “Imagination abound as Razzle-Dazzle Ruby sets out on a day of adventure and fun in the snow wonderland near her home. Battling fierce snowmen and braving the wintry day she stumbles upon noblemen and even a knight. With each page interact with Ruby by pulling, turning and spinning to make each scene come alive for little ones and adults alike.

“Normally I’m not at all a fan of books that require pulling or turning to make pages come to life, but Razzle-Dazzle Ruby by Masha D’yans happens to be an exception to that rule. My reasoning for my usual dislike rests squarely with my children’s interactions with them in the past. In most cases books with pulling things get torn to pieces in a matter of days, it’s terrible and I hate to contribute to that kind of damage to a book so I normally avoid them. But you know what? Littlebug loved this story so much that she has been overly cautious with it. It’s adorable! She’ll pick up the book with the utmost of care just to insure that no harm will come to it’s gorgeous pages. We’ve thoroughly enjoyed reading it (nearly everyday mind you) and interacting with the imaginative adventure Ruby goes on.

“Just in time for winter to be here Razzle-Dazzle Ruby is sure to please readers of any age. Filled with the gorgeous illustrations of Masha D’yans readers entire a world of blustery snow and whimsical delights. This is certainly a book both of my kiddos enjoyed, but most of all Littlebug. Let me not fail to mention either that I personally enjoyed the illustrations so much that I’d consider purchasing a print by D’yans for Littlebug’s room. D’yans is an incredibly talented artist and I’m excited to see what else she comes out with next. As for Razzle-Dazzle Ruby, it shows young readers there is magic to be found every day you step outside your front door and you never know exactly what to expect but it will certainly be an adventure.”

The1stdaughter Recommends: Ages 2 to 5. Take kiddos on an interactive adventure they will cherish and may even ask to be read each & every day.
