Books with author Zdenko Basic

No classic work lends itself better to Steampunk illustrations than The Time Machine, The War of the Worlds, and "The Country of the Blind," written by H.G. Wells, who many consider to be the father of Steampunk itself. Wells's tales of time travel and scientific romance is the perfect collection to the Steampunk series. Fans old and new will be delighted by Basic and Sumberac's four-color illustrations spiked with Steampunk machinery, gadgets, and fashion.

Colorful, original, and completely delightful, The Cleverest Spider not only features an entertaining rhyming story and adorable art, but a special extra: a tactile, eye-popping, honeycomb-like pop-up on each spread. Every time you turn the page, this novelty transforms into something new, thanks to the title character’s cunning. Spider lets us know right from the start that she’s the cleverest ever—“It’s true! I can spin anything that my friends ask me to.” Before long, she’s using her artful web-making skills to make her pals’ wishes come true…and enchant young readers. As she shows off her abilities, the pop-up feature changes from an apple to a dress to a beehive, and on to a tree, ball, umbrella, and vase. But Spider saves the best, most brilliant thing for last: a giant rainbow!
