One Boy (SOLD)

NEW Hardback Picture Book : One Boy by Laura Vaccaro Seeger

2009 Bank Street - Best Children's Book of the Year

This is a die-cut book exploring counting and words-within words, and the power of art and imagination. At the start, readers see a sad boy surrounded by empty, lonely chairs. At his feet is a bag with paint brushes peeking out. The text reads “ONE boy” which—with a turn of the page and a look through a cleverly cut hole—turns into “all alONE.” Page after page, the book becomes populated with seals, apes, and monkeys, all examples of words-within-words. Finally, we come back to “ONE boy” who is “all dONE,” and we discover where all the characters came from.
