One of us – the one who’s been around since the Ark made landfall – is old enough to remember this super cool TV show called Walt Disney’s Wonderful World of Color.

Remember that one? Hosted by Walt Disney. Came on Sunday nights. Right after Lassie, Kimber’s alter ego. (Arf! Arf!) Had some of the best family entertainment around.

But the real hook? The opening where Tinkerbell flies around Sleeping Beauty’s castle, waves her fairy wand and splashes Living technicolor all over the logo. It was like magic. Repeat for you young whipper-snappers: It was like magic. (This was waaaay before the days of cheating with CGI and all that jazz.)

What If…?

Anyway. What if you could find storybooks with that kind of magic for your littleun? Well. Thanks to Storybug, you can.

Cuz that’s what these two picture books from Storybug are like. (Note: We received complimentary copies of these books in exchange for an honest review.) Talk about a “wonderful world of color!”

Gi-Gorgeous!

We got ‘em in the mail shortly after the first animals descended the Ark two by two. Published by Storybug, they are some of the most beautiful children’s books we’ve ever seen. They’re gi-gorgeous! Bonus points: They’re customizable. No. Really. Like this:

How cool is that? I mean, come home, Lassie! So you could order this book and customize it saying “Billy’s First Birthday.” “Annie’s First Birthday.” Or whoever. “Kimber’s Nineth Birthday.” (Slipped that last one in just to see if you’re paying attention. Hello?)
