Here is yet another masterpiece by Aslaug Jonsdottir, whose books have been published worldwide to great acclaim.

Look! is an illustrated adventure for the youngest children where you can point, look, and be amazed. Short texts lead the reader through a wonderous world that is a source of questions and reflections. A book that will grow with your child.

The images are in mixed media of collage, gouache paintings and color pencil drawings: a magic blend of surreal, naive and naturalistic illustrations, curious details and larger humorous figures, making the book interesting for both the youngest and the older children. Two little travellers (sisters or siblings) are to be found on every spread through the book and they pass animals and odd creatures in situations that spark the imagination and inspire further storytelling.

REVIEWS

“The pictures are full of play and the imagination is unleashed, they arouse wonder and interest and the child who listens can look for the things mentioned in the rhymes and thus take an active part in the reading. […] The tone of the text is light and cheerful, and it is also extremely beautiful.”
MARIA BJARKADOTTIR, THE LITERATURE WEB
