this was a really lovely book by delphine chedru that i picked up in the louvre museum shop. 'cherche le petite bete', or 'look for the little animal' is packed full of great patterns that are really very sophisticated for a childrens book. the secret is of course that there is a little animal hiding on each one. in a strange coincidence the day after i bought it i found there was an exhibition of patterns from the book in the department store 'bon marche'. it featured giant print outs of the patterns. see it here on amazon uk or amazon usa.
They could leave the book in its original French and I imagine it would sell in the US--plenty of French speakers here and many who want to teach children.
ReplyDeletei, too, would love to pick up some of these very sophisticated alternatives to "where's waldo" :) what a great concept... so many creative people in the world... it's inspiring!
