Cars and Trucks on the Road: My First Search & Find
Author: Alessia Girasole
Format: Board book, 216mm x 279mm, 24 pages
Published: Quarto Publishing Group USA Inc, United States, 2018
This charming and witty 'can-you-find-it' large-format board book follows one purple car from road to road while a succession of other vehicles joins it. Each spread also features a certain number of hidden items for children to find. Will kids be able to find the 10 black and white puppies alongside the lone purple car? What about the two black limousines and nine red stoplights? It all culminates in the final gatefold spread, which reveals a tremendous traffic jam with every car from the previous spreads! Children will spend hours poring over this book as they search for their favourite vehicles and reoccurring characters on every page. They'll also find mini-stories within the main story (will the giraffe bike messenger find his lost wallet?), and several hidden items on every page. Numbers and colours are clearly indicated on each spread, and although certainly busy, each spread is carefully designed to provide just the right amount of challenge to young children.
Alessia Girasole was born in Milan, Italy where she currently resides. She has been drawing since early childhood and realized early on that she would turn her hobby into a career as an illustrator. After graduating from the European Institute of Design, with a major in Illustration and Multimedia Animation, she decided to focus on illustrating for children. She has illustrated more than a dozen books for publishers in the U.S. and abroad.
