Aina Bestard
Designer and illustrator. Worked with brands MirĂ³ Jeans, Woman's Secret and Camper, engaged in textile design. Illustrated children's books, creating vinyl stickers and wallpapers for interior design.
On the pages of the book drawings made by lines of three colors, and at first glance in the weave pattern only trees, bushes and grass are visible.
But it is necessary to look through the color filters in the form of a magnifying glass, as the picture changes: on it there are forest dwellers.
The protagonists - illustrations that accompany the text in all of the three lines, on the proposal for each color.
More than anything in the book there, apart from joy. Among children's book created a furor and permanently captured their attention. Adults, too, do not let the book out of the hands until the study the principle and do not check to see who is hiding on the next page.
When pages are carefully examined, it is possible to explain to children the principle of action of the color filters. With the help of the book manages to easily talk about how to mix colors, that comes out of it, and to demonstrate the focus already with a clean sheet and crayons.
It is whether a book, or toy. Toddlers are attracted cute little animals and fantastic transformations, school-age children - experimentation with color, they are trying to replicate.
It is difficult to describe the child's reaction, so the word goes to the experts.
The book, to my surprise, was not disposable. Early childhood experiences - interest, joy and delight - cool down quickly, and small book with illustrations may get bored. However, this is not the case. A few days later the children again drawn to the pages and color lupam begin to consider carefully the details, coming up with their own stories to the pictures.
Jaroslav, 4 yearsAll right. Now I will tell you a story.
This is one of the most interesting and enjoyable toy books that have ever appeared in our nursery. Simple enough to not be afraid of it to break or damage as is often the case with voluminous books. And it is very attractive.
Gift for children and adults who have not forgotten what the magic.
