A book does not babysit.
A book turns alive.
Welcome to the playroom dedicated to a book as an object. The book is represented here in three different ways: first, by a real object that resembles a mattress – you can build with it or lie down on it. Second, as a flat surface, a wall resembling a double-page spread, the contents of which are partly up to those who play out its basic characters and pictures, and partly up to those who join in. Third, there is the book's interior, a library and a reading corner with nooks and crannies that only those who open the book and begin to read will discover. Enjoy! Attention! Children are allowed to enter when accompanied by an adult.
Concept: Jiří Raiterman
Interactive cabinet: Emília Jarošová, Milan Šuba
Magnetic wall: Lucie Konopiská, Petra Svobodová
We thank Baobab and Meander publishers for having donated the books.
