Description

This oversized board book is an invitation to play: when the book is opened, a die-cut in the middle of the book frames the world around the reader, allowing him or her to compare what they see on the page with what they see through the die-cut. Each spread presents something new to look for: numbers, letters, colors, textures, sizes, shapes and more are showcased on each individual spread.
LOOK! is a book kids will want to pick up, open, touch, look through and play with. In the same vein as Windblown, The Race and Hatch, Little Egg, LOOK! is written and illustrated with Manceau’s signature mix of simple visuals and thought-provoking content. It will spark creativity and exploration, and encourage children to notice and engage with the world around them.

Excerpt: LOOK! (by (author) Édouard Manceau; translated by Karen Li)

One day, a curious little kid picked up this book.
He looked through the hole and saw all sorts of things!
Why don't you take a look through the hole, too?

Editorial Reviews

"Manceau wants to draw out the curious kid in all of us, and he succeeds very well in doing that."

Spirituality and Practice

"A creative and fun way to see the world."

School Library Journal

"You know what's amazing? Cutting a whole in a book and creating an experience that allows kids to see the world around them with fresh eyes."

Travis Jonker, 100 Scope Notes

"Anyone who loves Press Here will enjoy LOOK!. It's absolutely brilliant. I like that it encourages the kids to really look at the world around them. I used LOOK! around my apartment and was amazed at how the book applied in every situation. Kids will have fun using this book around the house, outside and even on road trips!

via IndieNext

"Definitely a book to be shared with very young children...should be a worthwhile addition to libraries in schools and facilities which focus on early education."

Canadian Review of Materials

"This clever, engaging offering invites children to review basic concepts while seeing the world around them in new ways."

Kirkus Reviews STARRED REVIEW

"Novelties like pages covered in orange fuzz or stuck together with Velcro will remind readers that the object they're holding in their hands is as special as anything they might see through the window at its center."
