“While it’s graphically sophisticated enough to please adults, little children can happily flip through this book on their own.” The New York Times

“A terrific companion…More please!” Shelf Awareness

Abrams Block Book : Cityblock

Owl Books — Sun, 23 Aug 2020 14:58:21 +0000

Cityblock explores city life in an exciting and unique way, from up in a high-rise building to down in the subway. Divided into three sections-things that go, things to see and things to eat-it features 24 different aspects of city living. As with the other acclaimed books in the series, die-cut icons hint at the larger context on the next spread.

Each section opens with a full city scene but gradually focuses in on the small, unique neighbourhoods that make the city large and grand. This clever book will attract young readers living in a metropolis as well as in the countryside with urban life that pops off each page.

Explore life on a farm in this addition to the bestselling Block Book series!It’s time to plant some crops, harvest the veggies, and make jam to take to the farmer’s market!

Like the previous titles, Farmblock explores a concept-in this case, seasons. From a rooster crowing at the crack of dawn to picking pumpkins for Halloween, there is so much to do all year-round! In keeping with the rest of the series, Farmblock features die-cut pages, gatefolds, and the charming art of British design team Peskimo.

Abrams Block Book : Countablock

Following on the heels of the successful alphabetic phenomenon, Countablock features thick pages cut into the shape of each number, creating a sort of peek-through guessing game around the number form itself. One egg becomes…one chick! From snowmen to puddles and acorns to oaks, quantities are illustrated twice: both before and after their “transformations.” As children interact with the pages, they will familiarise themselves not only with the numbers 1-100 and associated quantities, but with each numeral’s physicality — angles, holes and curves, both front and back. Illustrated by hip British design team Peskimo, this fresh take on the 1-2-3s encourages readers to manipulate numbers in a whole new way.
