Books with author Petr Horacek

A perky penguin stars in this brilliantly colored, cleverly designed book with a fun pull-the-tab finale.With the Crayola-like charm of young children’s drawings, Petr HoráÝcek illustrates a typical day in the life of Flip the penguin - leaping out of bed, pulling on mismatched socks, kicking a soccer ball, and strolling cheerfully through a storm with a rainbow umbrella. But something peculiar is happening to Flip - his pages keep getting smaller! It all makes sense in the end when he pulls up a charming patterned quilt - made up of the edges of the previous pages - and drifts off to sleep under a pull-the-tab twinkling sky.

Two stylish die-cut board books that introduce the concept of colours. These two colours concept books are part of Walker's new range of concept board books that combine graphic pictures with ingeniously simple novelty devices. In this case die-cut pages reveal that strawberries are red, oranges are orange, bananas are yellow and so on. Each page has more cut off it than the one before, so that the layered images finally form a delicious-looking fruit salad (Strawberries are Red). What Is Black and White? works in a similar way, with the pages revealing that the night is black, the snow is white, the cat is black, the milk is white, and so on. But this time, the black and white pages are turned to reveal...a zebra!

Jonathan and Martha are two lonely works that live on opposite sides of a tree. One day, a big juicy pear lands on the ground between them. Jonathan nibbles from the left, and Martha from the right - and soon they are caught in a tangle. Using his signature style of eye-catching illustration and collage and simple narrative, Horacek weave together a story that captures the essence of friendship. It is a classic story that teaches children and adults about the importance of sharing.
