OverviewAn imaginative board book introduction to shapes and creativity When a gust of wind blows colorful scraps of paper onto a blank page, several animal shapes emerge from the pieces. But who do the scraps belong to? Where did all these pieces of paper come from? And what form will they take next? The chicken is sure the papers belong to them, but so is the fish, and so is the bird, and the snail, and the frog. Using the same small scraps of paper over and over again to create new animals throughout, �douard Manceau has created a timeless cumulative tale that will delight and enchant children as they try to figure out just who the pieces of paper belong to. Newly available in board book format, this imaginative story is sure to delight the youngest of readers.

Edouard Manceau proves it with panache and wondrous imagination."" -- ""Sal's Fiction Addiction"" ""Manceau offers just enough possibilities to ignite youngsters' imaginations, then sends them off to try some creations of their own."" -- ""Shelf Awareness"" ""The story will appeal to the imagination of the early-years set."" -- ""Canadian Review of Materials"" ""This book makes a useful jumping off point for a paper making activity, a weather activity on wind, or even a litter collection activity in the classroom!"" -- ""Books for Kids Blog"" ""While this book at first seems as minimalist and innovative as Herve Tullet's Press Here, a more traditional story line soon emerges as several characters appear, providing a cumulative narration in which each claims ownership of the shapes."""
