The Line is a delightful Colouring Book by emerging illustrator Alice Bowsher.
A gorgeous gift Book that children will adore..
The Book is saddle stitched with a neon elastic band stretched horizontally across the front, acting as a line wrapping around the book.
In this way, despite the absence of text, the Book has a wit and a concept at its heart that provides an additional level of engagement.
So, a circus bear on a tightrope is hanging from the tightrope by the scruff of his jacket, in such a way that he is simultaneously part of the tightrope spread and the washing-line spread.
When the gatefold is closed, the concept of the previous spread meets the concept of the next spread.
Every other page is a gatefold page, so that each spread of the Book effectively stretches over three pages.
It starts off as a tightrope and then turns into a washing line, a table, a mountain, a road, etc, and on each page circus animals, crazy garments, towering plates of food and unusual vehicles are drawn in Alice s bold black brushstroke, begging to be brightly coloured in.
A neon pink line runs through the book.
