DAVID A. CARTER Pop-up book, 229X229mm, 7 spreads

Ages 3+

­ David Carter is an internationally acclaimed pop-up artist. Since his first success with How Many Bugs in a Box?, he has created more than 50 pop-up books, including the Red Dot series which sold hundreds of thousands of copies around the world.

Spend countless hours of fun searching for images and words hidden within the art!

“Hide and Seek is the first title in the second series of my art pop-up books. In the first series of 5 titles, The Red Dot series, I ask the reader to search for a single image hidden within ten pop-up kinetic sculptures. With this Hide and Seek series, I have expanded the concept and I am now asking the reader to search for hundreds of images or words hidden within the pop-up kinetic sculptures. My wish is that the reader will see these pop-up books as an art exhibition on their bookshelf. I hope my art tickles your mind and as always, please touch the art.”

Ages 4+ Who are the Minicats?

Three mini rascals intent on not letting themselves be intimidated by a world not within their reach. When you are a mini cat, everything is either too high or too big, but when these three Minicats team up, nothing is impossible.

This is how they decide to drive the car to go buy some milk; to go big game fishing; to wash up in the bathroom sink; or even to feed Lucien the dog.

They turn all these challenges into adventures, full of unexpected twists. In the end, the Minicats always wind up happy, and sometimes they’ve even grown up a bit.

MINICATS

“

loved finding the gifts under the Christmas tree.

It was all so beautiful that I said: what if we don't unwrap them! We could keep them there, all year!

That would be marvelous, every day would be Christmas morning. And you said: what's wrong with your head? And you pounced on a big package and tore off the silver paper.”
