TWIRL | Autumn 2017 | Catalogue

Fall 2017

Turning Heads, Shaping Minds since 2014

I want to welcome you to this second stand-alone Twirl catalog with 10 titles which all

proudly exemplify our credo:

• We believe that children learn best when all their senses are engaged. So each Twirl title is created as a place of exploration.

• We want to encourage in children a desire to discover and to learn. To learn about themselves, to hit their milestones, and to understand the world around them.

• For these reasons, we choose to make interactive books. Our books become a natural and fun playground that children will want to come back to again and again. And they do!

Our constant goal is to find ways for paper to re-create and animate reallife actions. But how best to achieve this? Do we use a wheel, a slider, a pull-tab, or a flap? These are just some of the daily challenges faced by the authors, editors, and paper engineers in our little studio in Paris!

Finally, there are the illustrators who bring those creations to life, each with their own unique visual style

and with images that are always eyecatching, stimulating, and wonderfully appealing to both children and adults.

Inspired by the teachings of Maria Montessori, My Busy Day, in the brandnew My Very Own ChecklistTM series, exemplifies our vision. Designed to bolster a child’s growing independence and self-confidence, simple but innovative sliders allow kids a tangible and satisfying way to celebrate their success in mastering everyday tasks.

That sense of celebration distinguishes all the books on our list.

So thank you, once again, to all who love and support our books— booksellers, librarians, parents, and teachers. We look forward to another wonderful season of turning heads and shaping minds!

Let’s Care for Baby!

A Play • Learn • DoTM Book

By Sophie Bordet-Petillon • Illustrated by Marc-Etienne Peintre

Studies show that children learn best when all their senses are engaged. The Play Learn DoTM books fit the bill perfectly, plus they are fun! This highly interactive book encourages hands-on learning, while helping to develop a sense of responsibility. Children learn to care for a baby by interacting with the 15 movable parts to change Baby’s diaper, give Baby a bottle, and even help get Baby ready for bed. What a perfect gift for future (or already!) big brothers and sisters!

The Ultimate series is a worldwide success because it offers readers an intriguing close-up view of their subject with lots of opportunity for hands-on interaction with flaps, tabs, pop-ups, and more! What better subject than airplanes and airports, endlessly fascinating to children of all ages—from the detailed instruments of a Boeing 747 cockpit to the mysterious innards of a baggage carousel, The Ultimate Book of Airplanes and Airports delivers absorbing information and hours of fun. It’s the perfect book to prepare young readers for a first flight!
