Description

What little animal lover wouldn't want to set all the animals in the zoo free and fly through the sky with them Lift-the-flap and open the door to join Lola and the animals, with an accordion fold that turns the pages into a stand-up story-telling scroll! The little girl in this whimsical wordless adventure story begins the day with a trip to the zoo, accompanied by her mother. Lola has fun imitating the monkeys, the giraffes, and all the animals -- until it starts to rain, and they run back home. That night, as she drifts off to sleep, Lola is joined by all the animals in the zoo. Little readers can lift a little flap that looks like a door to enter into a dreamscape and fly through the night sky as the pages fold out to become a stand-up scene of Lola's dream. This truly one-of-a-kind novelty picture book -- with two stories in one book -- will astound and delight adventurous book-lovers of all ages.

Reviews

The wordlessness, unconventional art style, and unusual continuous visual storytelling of Imaplas book make it feel like more of a stunning art piece than a typical childrens book. A clever concept, beautifully designed and executed. School Library Journal, STARRED review

"Imapla is genius at conveying emotions with the characters minimal facial features. The bright colors and easily identifiable animals, plus the drama of the rain, make this a sweet choice for families who enjoy using a wordless book for storytelling." Youth Services Book Review
