Josse Goffin (1938–2024)

An unusual pictorial "story" where what you see is not what it seems, but simple enough for small children to understand the humor.

Really cool book where each two-page spread has an object the unfolds to show another drawing which includes an art work from a museum. There are no words: a good thing, since the museums are in Paris and the book was printed in Belgium. Actually, the back cover does have words and they are French. Art includes an Egyptian cat, the Mona Lisa, a Degas ballet dancer, and Venus de Milo.

A great, short (28 pages) picture book for young children. Younger kids will enjoy the colorful and silly illustrations, while older kids will like guessing what is on the next page, and recognizing how one illustration leads tot he next. Plus, fold out pages are great fun!
