What It's About
Die
cuts on full
page flaps transform this counting book into a book of discovery
and imagination. It's a bit hard to explain, but each number has two
different looks, although just one spread. The second 'look' is created
through the movement of flaps that feature cleverly placed die
cuts. Kirkus called Seeger
"an emerging master
of
the concept
book" and the more books we see by her, the more we agree. Using flaps
to expose and/or hide parts of images is not a new idea for picture
books, but Seeger does it so well you'll think it's the first time
you've
seen such a book.

Peek Inside
Below are sample spreads from inside One Boy. It's a bit hard to explain, but each number has two different looks,
although just one spread. The second spread
shown in these examples below are created through the
movement of
flaps that featured cleverly placed die cuts.
