new charming picture book:
Toto's Apple by Mathieu Lavoie
Mathieu is co-founder of Comme des Géants publishers in Montreal,
(take a look at their published books!)
and you'll find a little about the process of making the book on Minerva Reads
what can i say about the book?
i simply love it!
the main character and the beautiful illustrations
caught me at the very first moment.
( yes! i'm a worms fan since Scarry's Lowly Worm!! )
love the design, with solid bold colors and lots of white
that goes perfectly together with the simple story,
and a short and plain text.
besides, the story is really good too!
the book is about a very creative and stubborn worm,
that wants an apple and all the adventures he's going through
while attempting to achieve that dream apple.
it's such a charming and naïve worm...
so full of silly ideas and failing plans
that make me smile.
(don't miss how he disguises himself!!)
even the end of the story is wonderful and unexpected.
well hope you enjoy it!!!
happy week!

libro bonito y gracioso a la vista!
Totó quiere la manzana
(tengo la versión en catalán,
En Totó vol la poma)
de Mathieu Lavoie.
el autor es cofundador y editor en Comme des Géants,
una editorial muy guay de Montreal, publican unos libros preciosos!
además he encontrado un post en este blog Minerva Reads
sobre el proceso de creación del libro que está muy bien.
qué te voy a contar sobre el libro?
me ha encantado! el gusanito protagonista me enamoró al instante,
porque soy una fan total de los gusanitos desde que
conocía a Gusi de Richard Scarry.
Las ilustraciones y diseño tan limpio,
con esas masas sólidas de colores y tanto blanco funcionan a la perfección
acompañando una historia muy sencilla y con poquito texto.
además la historia es buenísima,
cuenta la historia de Totó que es un gusano muy intrépido y creativo,
y sobre todo testarudo, que se ha encaprichado de una manzana
y pasa las mil y una para conseguirla.
no te pierdas sus disfraces y cómo consigue disfrazarse,
genial ;)
tiene unas ocurrencias muy buenas y sus planes casi siempre fallan,
digo casi siempre porque al final...
bueno, no lo cuento, lo tendrás que descubrir,
el final también es muy bueno.
ya me contarás si te ha gustado :)
feliz semana!!
