Fully illustrated cardboard pages fold out in a zigzag fashion to show and tell the story, leaf by leaf. Full colour on one side, black and white on the other, each image shows a different view of the story’s progression.
The girl child lives in an apartment block. Having left her teddy bear somewhere unknown, she sets out to find it. She climbs the staircase, knocking on every door to enquire. Surprisingly, an amazing adventure opens up for her.
She meets new, strange, and incredible people. She discovers natural surroundings behind closed doors. Amongst them is a forest filled with animals, and trees growing in a room like a garden. She uncovers an aquarium, a library, and a school room.
Unexpected events occur. By the time she reaches
the top, she has learnt many things about the diversity of the residents and
their apartments. But does she find her teddy?
This is an ideal gift and terrific a learning tool.
The pictures will encourage the use of language through discussion, questions
and answers. Beautifully designed and delivered, the uniqueness of this publication
will enthral children and adults.
