Kerby
Rosanes puts his inimitable signature on the geographic world
in his latest book. Delve into nineteen beautiful line drawings
and see if you can find the hidden objects, then make them
your own by coloring them in. The book has smooth, bright
white paper with the images printed on only one side of the
page so you can use felt tips with a light hand if you put
some paper underneath while you work I’ve see thicker
paper and I would not recommend paint or permanent markers
like Sharpies, but any less wet media should be all right.
Some pictures do disappear into the spine and sadly there
are no perforations; a careful hand will be needed to remove
the 9¾” square pictures for framing. No two page
spreads means that you can hang all nineteen images on your
walls but I hope a larger poster version will come out as
it has done with two earlier books. These pictures are impressive
small but would really look amazing larger.
On the cover a swimming polar bear drips with seaweed and
the top of his emerging head is an iceberg. Fire wolves leap
out of a volcano, a cave hides a city of skyscrapers, the
head of a huge octopus is an island and a wooden elephant
has a tree growing from his trunk. There is also a double
page spread with a “this book belongs to” area
and a title page where you can practice first, as well as
an extra polar bear picture to help you get started. All pictures
are hand drawn with no pixels and are highly visible though
also highly detailed. Hours of fun await the owner of this
book which would make an ideal gift – if you can bear
to part with it!
