Hervé Tullet has to be one of our all time favourite children's authors. Full of colour and quirky hand-drawn characters and illustrations, his picture books are both fun and interactive for children of all ages. Help! We Need a Title! is no exception (and possibly one of his best yet). Open the front cover to find a pig and a fairy playing pingpong, who soon realise that they have company… (you!) Thus begins a series...
We love a good children's book. Especially when they're as interactive as these amazing new creations by Madeleine Rogers of Mibo, just launched at The Kid Who. You may remember our previous feature on the Save Our Species animal set, one of many fabulous make-your-own paper animal sets for which Mibo are so well known and loved. Well, Madeleine has taken these sets just one step further to create a range of 3 themed books (The...
These fun sketchbooks by French design studio Deuz contain everything needed to inspire the little designer in them. Inside, there are 100 pages split into 2 - they simply draw their animal/creature/person on each full page, then flip over the top or bottom half to create a brand new combination and a whole new character!

We spotted this book at a recent exhibition in London, and there was something quite special about it. The title says it all, really - this is a book about maps, a sort of children's atlas but presented in an amazingly detailed, captivating way. The publishers Big Picture Press describe it as 'a celebration of the world, from its immense mountains to its tiny insects' - and that's just what it is. 112 illustrated pages featuring...
