PUBLISHERS WEEKLY
In her U.S. debut, French artist G hin explores how objects and animals can become part of larger wholes through the use of three-panel sequences that feature full-page flaps. G hin's bold, blocky graphics are rendered in saturated shades of mustard, red, and turquoise, and dry wit and even social commentary pop up throughout. An apple core ("garbage") appears opposite a garbage can; lifting the flap reveals a "garbage dump" overflowing with trash. Elsewhere, a single mosquito turns into a swarm, leading to an exclaimed "yikes!" on a spread packed with the red-nosed bugs. In other transitions, a fishbowl is followed by a river and an ocean crowded with fish, and a page is part of a book, which in turn is part of a library. G hin's eye-catching graphics convey ideas of interconnectedness, scale, and scope with humor and flair. Ages 3 5.
