What's wrong with this book?

€16.00

A lady takes her little dog for a walk, a clown reads a book comfortably seated in his armchair, a fireman puts out a fire and a pretty little white house greets us with a smile: what’s wrong with this book? Nothing it would seem! But turn the page and you see the smart lady’s nose become the mouth of a house hot-footing it away from the fireman, whose hydrant is really the very long nose of a clown! And the elephant? It is just the shadow of an armchair seen from behind. And you’re likely to go nuts hanging upside down from the ceiling, which is also a floor at the same time.

In What's wrong with this book? a series of puzzles using die cuts, shadow play and optical illusions playfully deceive the reader. Geometric shapes have endless combinations and everything hides a multitude of identities. Turn the book and turn it again, stand on your head and let yourself be carried along by McGuire and the surprises in store on every page.
