The Carousel of Animals Pop-Up Book
The Brand: Little Gestalten’s origin story began with a focus on the aesthetic, particularly that of graphic design and, over the last two decades, the scope of both their content and their expertise has widened. Their books as always are gorgeous! Gérard Lo Monaco, the artist/author here, is an Argentinian illustrator, art director and paper engineer living in Paris. His work has been widely recognized and appreciated for the last decade.
Description: A lion riding a dog, monkeys boxing a kangaroo, a fox riding a fire engine… This is one ride children won’t want to miss! As the book unfolds and the carousel starts to turn, we see a troupe of characters march past in colorful array. How many animals do you see? What are they called? Each new spin brings new life to the tale; it invites a different story to be told, and a new world to unfold. Gérard Lo Monaco’s illustrations captivate the imagination and delightful rhymes give pace to each spin of this madcap journey on the animal carousel.
Details - 5 1/2 x 9 1/2 inches, full color, hard cover, stitched binding, 10 pages, pop-up illustrations on each page, book ties when fully open to make a hanging carousel
A Note From Erika: I always smile when I look at this charming book. The fact that it can become a decoration in a child’s room makes it more magical.
