*lol* To lea – yes the u.s. is a bit crazy. You should see the lines for the vaccine clinics! They keep running out. my house is staying out of the governmental insanity and being good boys and girls and washing our hands a lot. ;p

To Claire.. Feel better soon! That shark is adorable (and matches some of my tattoos)

Your site is like looking at delicious candy! It is wonderful to see such creativity and appreciation for the beautiful things in life. I love how your writing voice is in a (British?) accent! So cute!

I couldn’t resist getting my niece some Marc Boutavant stickers when I was recently in France. I wanted to get her a matchy-block game illustrated by him, but with space & weight restrictions, stickers made more sense She loves them! Will keep an eye out for Mouk book.

God, I love Pimms. Reminds me of sitting on the college backs at Cambridge, our last home, of a summer evening (listen to me, like something out of Brideshead revisited!). Great post. x

I just bought that MOUK book too! I picked it up and had to buy it right away (I rarely buy books from bookstores not on sale on impulse). I thought of Richard Scarry’s illustrations too when I flipped through it. The vinyl stickers are so cool.

I heart pimm’s!
the media in the u.s has gone swine flu crazy…hopefully things are more common sense in oz. otherwise you’d be quarantined with lambs blood on the door during this family gastro outbreak

I read the Mouk book at a friend’s sometime last year and was so puzzled by it – didn’t get it at all but oh the kids thought it was great! Which just goes to show that adults aren’t always the best judge of what kids will like. Well I’m not anyways

We’ve also been having a nasty little bug running through our house…one finally gets rid of it and then the next has it! No fun!
We are going to see if our library has the Mouk book!! I never heard of it before!

Marc Boutavant is ALWAYS hot around my home. I made postcards for my girls from the pages of Mouk. I simply photographed their favorite illustrations and printed them on postcard photo paper. Viola! If you can’t get enough of his illustrations check out these other recently released books illustrated by Mr. B. They are so sweet and so perfectly illustrated!
