The Giant Game of Sculpture

To start, the child needs to open the book up then pop out the pieces of card and insert them into the ready-made slots and holes. He can then make his sculpture unique by adding pieces of card, wrapping paper or other things that will fit, like an empty painted toilet roll.

Hervé Tullet (b.1958) studied Fine Art and worked as an Art Director for ten years before joining the advertising industry. In 1994 he published his first book for children and has since become one of the world’s most innovative children’s authors and has won numerous awards. Known in France as ‘The Prince of pre-school books’, Tullet takes the concept of reading to a new level, teaching young minds to think imaginatively, independently and creatively. His titles include the New York Times bestseller Press Here, as well as I am Blop!, The Big Book of Art and the ‘Let’s Play Games’ series of board books for young children, also published by Phaidon Press. He lives in Paris.
