Spend a sunny day in the beautiful countryside. Sit beneath an apple tree, run through flower-filled meadows, climb the highest mountain... and then flip the book and make your way back through the same landscape by the light of the moon!

Illustrated in a vibrant riot of colours, this book can be enjoyed from front to back and back to front - one side offering a series of cut-out daytime countryside scenes with trees, flowers and cows, while the other side features the same landscapes at night. This book encourages children to make up and tell stories of their own by offering them a beautiful theatrical backdrop to spur their imaginations.

Ages 1-3

About the Author

Herve Tullet was born in 1958. After studying Fine Art, he worked as an Art Director before joining the advertising industry. In 1994 he published his first book for children and has since become one of the world's most innovative book makers. Known in France as "The Prince of pre-school books", Tullet takes the concept of reading to a new level, teaching young minds to think imaginatively, independently and creatively. He is the father of two boys and a girl, who never fail to inspire him.

Reviews
'instantly engage the child from the very beginning. Unlike other books for children they take absolutely no time at all to grasp the child's attention as the die cuts, bright colours and other mechanisms magically enthral the child almost the second the child reaches for the book. ... delightful ... it is clear to see that they go far beyond the realms of everyday books; enlightening, inspiring and exciting children by clever twists in each book. They are very competitively priced and sure to be a winner with all small children.'
Family Fun Guide
Herves work is a sumptuous visual assault to the eyes, a stylised celebration of colour, of pattern, of textures - and a few, but not too many, well-chosen words. ... the brevity of text is precisely what brings the books to life. They are designed to encourage lively interaction, to prompt the readers to tell their own stories and, most importantly, for parents and children to share and enjoy a mutual experience. ... The series of six Let's Play Games! books focuses on the theme of playful discovery, with a mix of textures, flaps and cut-outs in a chunky boardbook format that will sustain a good degree of robust manhandling from toddlers. ... [Tullet's] style has distinct echoes of modern art from the likes of Picasso, Dali and Matisse.'
