Marc Boutavant is my favorite children illustrator. His new book called "Around the World with Mouk" (ISBN 978-1854378545, for the English version which is not out yet) is absolutely beautiful, printed on fine shiny paper on which you can play with a selection of non-stick stickers located at the end of the book for added fun (having offered a few copies to lucky French children for Christmas I can guarantee it never fails to entertain). What is amazing in this new book is the wealth of details and the sub-stories in each scene. You can see a lot of work and attention has gone into it.
Marc Boutavant's simple characters and colourful designs are just a real joy.
