You don`t have to be an eight-year-old boy to appreciate the plight of a robot caught in the rain
- if, that is, the story is told in pop-up images by the brilliant Philippe UG. In his latest book, one of the world`s most imaginative paper artists delivers a delightful glimpse into the inner workings, movement & emotion of a hapless robot. Once he gets wet, he goes to the doctor & voila! His creaky gears are fixed & the robot returns to his happy, finely tuned self. As readers turn the page, each ingeniously constructed spread explodes with brilliant hues, striking contours, & vivid personality. Quirky & inspiring, this book shows why pop-up art appeals to adults & children alike.
