READY, STEADY,BREAK GENTLY!
Since ancient times people have asked the egg - hard, such as rocks, but opening to reveal something alive in all its wonders.
Artist-designer Roger Priddy makes good use of this phenomenon of nature in his new toy-and-mobile-book, Easter Surprise. (Press of St. Martin, 2011). Original decision-making on Council zipper and flap book for the young book lovers, illustrations of Priddy actually slide open and closed because it takes a happy day watch which can reveal the Easter egg. Inside its color bright Easter egg is its secret, a duckling darling looking right at the Viewer as to say: "Well, that expect you?"
Pull similar slide-and-find pages apart to reveal an Easter Bunny in a basket, a Lamb of spring behind one door Garden, fluffy chicks in their coop and a deer wood fawn in the thicket. But the best image for the small "reader" discover is seen as the last pages open to reveal a mirror with the image of the baby, with hindsight.
EASTER SURPRISE!YOU ARE HERE, TOO!
