    About this ebook

    One patch of denim escapes from a pair of pants and becomes a stained-glass window, an ice-cream truck, a Ferris wheel, a fish tank and many other square surprises in this delightful board book by celebrated paper artist Marthe Jocelyn.

    Jocelyn's paper collages in this wordless search-and-find adventure will encourage little ones to look closely at the world around them and explore what they see.

      Like One Yellow Ribbon , this book is nothing but a collection of pictures of what you could do with a blue patch of denim. It could be a window, an aquarium, or even a blanket patch. This book could really use some words. The pictures are nice, but that’s all it is, a collection of pictures, instead of a story.

      This is a beautiful wordless book for toddlers. My two year old granddaughter and I shared this one and she liked it. We had to find the blue patch on each page, then talk about what it was. Of course, I did most of the talking. The illustrations are great, they show texture which helped her to identify certain things such as sand. I loved the picture depicting the houses and the flowers, we spent a long time on that page. The publisher, Orca Book Publishers, generously provided me with this book to read. The rating, ideas and opinions are my own.
