Description

A clever novelty book in which a book, found abandoned on the beach by a young boy, actually leads the boy and the reader inside a smaller printed book . . . then another.As Thomas's parents nap, he goes for a walk and gets lost--until he sees a worn and abandoned book lying on the ground. He picks it up and finds himself in a totally different scene--as is the reader, who has literally opened a different book inside the first. This happens one more time--another book within a book opened, another new world entered--until finally Thomas and his parents are reunited. But what will happen next?

Critic Reviews

“ "The second booklet is bound into the first one, and the third into the second. Each successive volume is smaller than the previous one, while the closing pages return to the original book's size as well as its setting. First published in France, this intriguing picture book features a short, pleasing text illustrated with attractive digital images. Children will enjoy the clever concept, which seems headed toward infinity until the story's ending brings the echoing narratives together in a single, satisfying conclusion. A simple idea artfully transformed into a memorable picture book."-- Booklist , Starred Review”

"Bailly's illustrations and some unusual formatting take a seemingly ordinary outing in surprising directions in this import from France."—Kirkus Reviews
