Publishers Weekly
Originally published in France, this innovative workbook encourages readers to incorporate their own artwork into photographs--for example by drawing missing facial features on bisected photos of a man and woman, creating disguises for a shrimp and scallop, or transforming a pineapple, head of broccoli, and bunch of tomatoes into ballet dancers. The gently subversive format should especially appeal to unrepentant library book scribblers. Also available: Picture This. Ages 5 up. (Nov.)
