It's giveaway time again! And today we are thanking stylish children's shop The Kid Who for showing us these fabulous children's books by Herve Tullet - and for offering one of them as a very special competition prize for one lucky reader.
Herve Tullet is one of the most creative children's authors and illustrators around today. Each of his titles aims to capture and enchant young imaginations with its unique, individual style, actively encouraging interaction and participation from its readers. Previous award-winning books by Herve Tullet include "Night and Day", "The Five Senses" and "Imagine".
We have selected 3 equally innovative titles to share with you in today's feature, including "The Book with a Hole", "The Scribble Book" and "The Game in the Dark", each one as unique and exciting as the other!
And the good news is, you can win your very own copy of Herve's The Book with a Hole, simply by leaving us a comment below.
The Book with a Hole (paperback, £8.50)
And so we'll start with the prize itself. This book does quite literally what it says on the tin - and that's why we love it so much.
There's a huge cut-out hole right through the centre of the book from cover to cover, and this hole becomes the focus for creative tasks on every page.
Sometimes it's a saucepan; sometimes it's a plate (filled with endless yummy possibilities as little readers can draw their favourite food on a sheet of paper behind the book). And then it's an open mouth to pretend to feed, before becoming a round, fat tummy! Throughout the book, the hole transforms from an imaginary face to a basketball hoop (just take a crumpled sheet of paper and shoot!); a swimming pool to jump into and a tropical island to design and draw; a star-gazing telescope and a bug-watching magnifying glass; a submarine window and a even sea creature's mouth!
It's simply fabulous - a completely unique activity book for children of all ages. And as it's all in black and white, every page can be coloured in, too.
It will last for years, as no two reads will ever be the same.
The Scribble Book (paperback, £8.50)
Love love love this amazing activity book. Jam-packed with Herve's very own inventive scribbles and hilarious sense of humour, children are encouraged to join in and scribble alongside him, with the only rule being the messier the better (none of the traditional "colour inside the lines" rules here!)
As the book unfolds, they'll be tasked with feeding scribbles to a hungry monster, scribbling water to put out a fire, flames coming out of a volcano and scribbling clouds in the sky. And our favourite - scribbling dust balls in the living room to prevent the vacuum cleaner from getting bored, of course!
The scribbles gradually evolve into puzzles and drawings for little readers to design and complete themselves - and just like The Book with a Hole, they'll be captivated from start to finish.
The Game in the Dark (hardback, £8.00)
Our final favourite by Herve Tullet tells the story of a space rocket journeying to the moon. But this isn't any ordinary bedtime book. Its 14 pages are printed with special glow-in-the-dark ink, which children can charge with a light or a torch before turning out the light and imagining their very own version of the story.
So much fun - and so different from the norm - these books are the ideal gift for encouraging children's imagination and creativity. And we all know how fascinating little minds can be.
