Hi !

So many times without post a book...

I had big troubles with my right arm, the good one of course, and it was quite difficult to take photos !

I feel a little bit better so i'm gonna post a lot of new books very soon !!! :)

Here is a new little book illustrated by Elisabeth Ivanovsky, one of my favourite illustrator, ( i think i say everytime about all the illustrators on the blog that they are my favourite ) !

I'm trying to collect all those little books but they are hard to find and a bit expansive.

Because we ask, here's a little history... :)

This collection, ( Pomme d'Api), features 24 little books. All of them were illustrated by Elisabeth Ivanovsky and i think there were all written by René Meurant, her husband.

There were published by the "Petites Editions Des Artistes" in Brussels between 1942 and 1945.

Enjoy ! :)

Der Zirkus ist da, illustrated by Margrit Roelli, 1947.

Hi everyone ! :)

I found this very cool book illustrated by Margrit Roelli, it was a long time i wanted one illustrated by her...

Compositions are very interesting and i like how she used fabrics, yarns, rope in order to enrich her drawings... I think it's very inspirational that's why i wanted share this book with you guys !

Ice Cream, written by S. Marshak and illustrated by V.Lebedev.

My stepfather told me this story and i really liked it.

It's about a big man who wants to eat ice creams.

He buys an ice cream to the vendor and he buys a second, a third etc...and finally, he eats it all but he's always hungry!!!

The merchant hasn't ice creams anymore so he calls all his colleagues to feed this strange big man.

The big man eats, eats, eats and more he eats ice creams, more he gets cold !!!

At the end, he ate so much ice creams that he turns into a snowman and it's so cold that the kids can ski ! :)
