Books with author Tarō Gomi

Toss these go-anywhere doodle books in a purse or a backpack, leave them in the back of the car, or tote them onto the plane for an instant mood adjustment or cure for boredom. Draw a happy-looking cake, a grumpy teapot, or a laughing frog, and more! No matter what their age, doodlers will appreciate Taro Gomi's wit and the opportunity to create whenever the mood strikes!

Packed with activities including colouring, cutting and pasting, this book should engage creative kids both big and small. Taro Gomi provides readers with the bare bones of a sketch or outline, which they are then encouraged to expand upon by means of an instruction at the top of the page. For example, the outline of a fish tank is accompanied by the suggestion to "draw a fish"; disembodied heads, hands and feet require bodies and clothes; empty speech bubbles beg to be filled in; masks and boxes can be coloured in and cut out.
