White Noise: A Pop-Up Book for Children of All Ages Cover

 

Synopses & Reviews

Publisher Comments:

First came One Red Dot, next Blue 2, 600 Black Spots, Yellow Square, and finally White Noise, the fifth installment of David A. Carter's acclaimed color series! Modern and elegant paper engineering and text are certain to awe children of all ages.

Paper-over-board book has 9 spreads of pop-ups. Book is packaged in a resealable polybag with a sell sheet

Review:

"In Carter's final 'color' book (after One Red Dot, Yellow Square, and others), abstract paper pop-up sculptures form a symphony of white noise — clicks, clacks, and the like — as they expand. Gently batting 'a tangle of bits and pieces' that hang by string produces 'tinkling white noise,' while on another page, readers can drag their fingers along fibrous, crenellated wings to make a strumming sound. References to sculptor Sir Anthony Caro and artist Bruno Munari, among others, will be lost on young readers, but the expressive, intricate shapes, blistering primary color palette, and subtle audio dimension are entrancing. Ages 3 — up." Publishers Weekly (Copyright Reed Business Information, Inc.)

Synopsis:

In this final installment of the critically acclaimed color series, modern and elegant paper structures create mesmerizing displays certain to stimulate the senses. Poetic text guides readers through bold, colorful paper structures that create their own unique sounds. Children of all ages will love experiencing the art on each page over and over again.
