"Prudence and her Amazing Adventure" by Charlotte Gastault (Thames and Hudson)
But stay a while and dive into "Prudence and her Amazing Adventure" by Charlotte Gastault for a whirlwind adventure inside the imagination of a brilliant young girl.
Charlotte has gone to amazing efforts to capture the way a child sees the world so absolutely perfectly, in a book that uses loads of amazing cut-out pages, semi-transparent pages, and curiosity-piquing ideas that it might just leave you feeling slightly frazzled by the end (read-aloud parents might see those super-dense text pages at the start of the book and inwardly groan - we did - but stick with this story and you'll find something truly special here!)
Prudence’s parents are calling her to hurry up: it’s time to go!
But she also must tidy up her room before going out.
Prudence would much prefer to dream about other worlds (wouldn't we all) but we have a feeling that this awesome young girl might just win the day in the end.
Sum this book up in a sentence: A superbly detailed, gorgeously rendered and colourful world of imagination with fabulous Prudence right in the centre of it all.
"Prudence and her Amazing Adventure" by Charlotte Gastault is out now, published by Thames and Hudson (kindly supplied for review).
