children's question's books




I found this book at Portsmouth library, it had a funny cover which made the illustrations look 3D. I think children would love this type of cover and they tend to judge a book by its cover very easily!





The book I'm guessing targets the ages of 7-14
I find the book layout and the amount it contains quite chaotic and wild, but I guess this ticks the boxes for these types of ages. 
Photographs
illustrations
texts are all fitted into double page spreads and tries and documents imagery with every type of factual information. 

Children’s author Antje Damm created a book titled Ask Me. It covers 100 questions, accompanied by rich and varied images that are designed to stimulate conversation between parent and children such as “What did you do in your mum’s tummy? Ask her about it!” or“How do you make people laugh?”




The questions are provocative and whimsical that cooperate with the images on the right hand side. Antje uses illustrations and photographs that are fully bled to the corner of the book, the images are all very different however there is a great consistency of layout and flow when turning the pages. 




I thought this was a great title for a book, which might make kids laugh! 
Its an innovative take on familiarising yourself with fascinating subjects that were hard to follow at school, including science, geography, languages, social history, wildlife and naming.






The book has all sorts of layouts within the pages, its interesting and puts a huge spin on the importance of learning in a school environment. I believe there is quite lot of text, however the images really explain a lot!




A fantastic and positively original children’s book
This appeals to all audiences, I played with this for a good hour, watching the Horse gallop on the page. 




Not only the moving images are clever but the text fits perfectly with them, it asks for you to join in as well!




I love the layout of this book as it keeps a simple white background for you to concentrate on the scanimations. The ending as a sweet conclusion of if you can do all of these animal like moves then you are a star!
I believe this book is a revelation into what I have seen in photography children’s books.
