This is quite a good idea, to mimic a foggy landscape by printing images on vellum. Unfortunately, the execution was disappointing, at least for me. There was too much overlapping of the figures and the artwork itself was fairly mundane. I was hoping for a Rackham or a Pieńkowski. ( ) The illustrations, consisting of a black-and-white silhouette of a fairy tale scene (which is then revealed in full colour on the next page) are clever and fun. I especially like the pictures of the ogre doing yoga and Cinderella and Snow White spraying each other with water pistols. However, the constantly recurring question "What can this be in the foggy, foggy forest?" and the resulting answers to said question are rather unimaginative and not all that complementary or even complimentary to the deliciously fun and humorous illustrated scenes. The Foggy, Foggy Forest is thus to be primarily recommended for its illustrations. This would be a good book for an inquisitive and imaginative child, especially if the rather mundane text is either ignored, or primarily used as a starting point for further discussion and independent storytelling. Fairy tale characters and fantastical creatures are hiding behind vellum pages in this unique novelty book. For those who like I Spy games, they will love this new take on the hide and seek format. Creatures such as a unicorn are hidden in silhouette on the right side, but when you turn the page, the creature that was hiding is show in full color. I am interested to see if Nick Sharratt finds another creative use for this technique. This book is incredible, and like nothing I have ever seen. The pages are made of tough but thin and semi-transparent glossy paper that looks cloudy. Each page asks, "What can this be in the foggy, foggy forest?" And when you turn the page, there is a colored illustration of a fairy tale creature or story there for you to discover! On that page there is also a cleverly rhyming description of what you see, like "a little elf all by himself," or "an ogre doing yoga." The book also features Cinderella and Snow White in a water fight, A traveling fair, Little Red Riding Hood selling ice cream, a unicorn playing a horn, and Goldilocks with a candy box. The characters are colored in details, while the backgrounds remain monochrome black on transparent cloudy paper. This story has incredible rereading potential; children will love reading the book again and guessing what they are about to see on the next page. aucune critique | ajouter une critique
