No 13 - Toon Books

Françoise Mouly, New Yorker art director and wife of acclaimed cartoonist Art Spiegelman launches a new line of book comics called Toon Books. This new line is aimed at readers ages four and up and are designed to nurture basic reading skills and encourage a love of visual storytelling.

An excerpt from Toon Books' official website states

"TOON Books represent a whole new approach to books for emerging readers — a rethinking as radical as the first time Theodore Geisel* put a hat on a cat."

*Theodor Seuss Geisel, better known to the world as the beloved Dr. Seuss.

Among its Spring 2008 titles is Otto's Orange Day about a cat named Otto who meets a magical genie and wishes for everything to be orange. Cover and sample pages below - extracted from www.toon-books.com.
