Pasje poletje

Imagine the following scene: It’s already quite crowded on the beach and scorching hot. There are people paddleboarding, swimming, cooling themselves off with ice cream, rowing boats, and sailing in yachts. But wait... there’s something wrong with this book! Why is there a frog and a dolphin in the text, while the illustration clearly depicts a pig? Why is the dog swimming in the text and sailing on a surfboard in the picture? Do the illustrations match the text at all? Did the writer and illustrator forget to collaborate? How should this unusual book be read? Well, you can read one story and tell the other based on the illustrations, and above all, have immense fun with both. This exciting and completely unique picture book invites young readers to explore. Children encounter a bunch of animals, learn about a whole range of water sports and mischief, and have fun with ideas, searching, and guessing. The book highlights the lack of basic picture book conventions and the expected monolithic relationship between text and image, thus creating an interesting and exciting new world.
