the great paper caper

Our latest and greatest find at the library this week, was one of my favorite authors and illustrators, Oliver Jeffs. We first found him first with his book, The Incredible Book Eating Boy - which started Jack's obsession with eating broccoli. His illustrations are amazing and the story lines are always creative, but with a cute underlying principle. The Great Paper Caper seems to suggest the importance of recycling and conservation, but if anything, it is entertaining and unique. (Don't miss the great instructions on the inside covers of the book about paper airplane making).

Jeffs always uses a great mix of handwritten fonts and very Wes Anderson style typeset fonts. The colors are beautiful, the characters are endearing and humorous. He has several more books out, and I can't wait to go find them next.

You should check him out.
