However you’ve been celebrating International Book Giving Day, I hope it’s been a good one. It’s still not too late to join in – get some ideas here…
I took part in Zoe’s book swap at Playing by the Book. It was fun not knowing until a couple of weeks ago who I would be paired up with. My book arrived during the week but I was very good and only opened it today… Here it is, and I’m happy to share it with you:
What an adorable book – Qui Quoi Qui by Olivier Tallec (Actes Sud Junior (France), 2014 – and very clever – each spread asks a question and the reader has to find who it refers to in the line up of characters in the pictures… A nice little French exercise for my son too!
And with the book, my book swap partner Anne Viel enclosed the card shown with a translation of the text – thank you, Anne – and then I realised that the card is in fact written and designed by Anne herself: a recipe for carrot jam – and that will be a new one for me too!
Alors, Anne, merci pour le beau livre – and it has been a real bonus to discover some of your animation work (which is where the carrot jam comes in, no doubt!)…
PS I’ll let you know what book I sent to Anne once i know she’s received it!
PPS There’s a great Giveaway for International Book Giving Day over at Pragmatic Mom…
ooh, that looks like a lovely book! And carrot jam? Wow, yum yum!
It is, Zoe! Thank you so much for organising the Book Swap – such a lovely idea.
