Playground

Two friends take a fun, fantastical trip to the playground through Mies van Hout’s amazing art. Climb through the trees, find the way across the crocodile-infested river, and bushwhack through the blackberries, feel your way through the dark cave, escape from the monster, and slide into safety on your way to
the jungle gym.
Note a special treat: a new creature joins the children from each landscape, contributing to an ever-lengthening parade to the playground in this fun and interactive book.

‘Beautifully produced, with a humorous detail at every turn of the mazes, this book will give endless hours of point-and-trace fun to young children and their caregivers. The clever mazes encourage children to interact with the images every bit as meaningfully as with a digital medium. Thrilling.’ – KIRKUS, starred review
‘Mies van Hout is at the pinnacle of her powers. Fresh and surprising.’ – NRC Handelsblad
