Are you a Monkey : A Tale of Animal Charades by Marine Rivoal

Are You A Monkey: A Tale of Animal Charades by Marine Rivoal caught my eye last month at the second-hand book shop next door to where we live.

Painted in a stylish and saturated color palette of Pantones, this unusual book will engage children in considering animal behavior and characteristics.

Even the publisher calls the book "unusual" because the colors are just absolutely mesmerizing and like nothing I have seen before. Each page has a good hook to grab and retain Luffy's attention. Marine Rivoals' work is absolutely mesmerizing. Alas, most of her work seems to be in French.

P.S. I absolutely love the fact that artists and creators can still surprise me with their art. Even after reading hundreds (close to thousands) of graphic novels and comic books, I am yet to come across two authors whose styles are exactly the same. Maybe I shouldn't be surprised about this. Maybe if I had a basic appreciation of the arts during my college years, I wouldn't be surprised at this fact. But I seem to be more than making up for it now.
