Play with a lift-the-flap book with pop-ups!
With the structure of a chained story telling, this book with pop-ups is designed for the little one to play “big eats small”.
Using simple rhymes, Mar Benegas combines fun riddles with paper engineering and the whimsical colourful illustrations of Anna Süßbauer.
The plot starts with a frog who eats one mosquito from Quito and keeps telling a daring hyperbolic story of the animal food chain spread by spread.
At the end, a huge greedy dragon swallows them all, turns the book into coal until the tale… is done!
We are currently working on the project, but our editor has built a yummy dummy with her own hands. It is a WIP. Watch the video:
