Koob: The Backwards Book

by Anna Brett, Elle Ward (Illustrations)

KOOB is not your average book. It's a backwards book! This quirky activity book that plays off the style of the hugely sucessful "Wreck This Journal" will challenge you to think outside of the box (and the page!) and try out a different perspective by reading the book upside down and back to front. Featuring wacky instructions on every page, from "Decode these secret instructions with a mirror" and "Write on this page with your toes," to "Draw an animal, cut it out, and attach a string to take it for a walk," KOOB is guaranteed to bring hours of fun and lots of laughs.

With a unique format, including pages that are cut on a diagonal slant and original, eye-grabbing 2-color line illustrations, KOOB is a new spin on the traditional activity book that will appeal to kids (and adults!) of all ages.

[Samuel Bustamante · Rating 4 out of 5]

El libro al revés me pareció muy chistoso porque siempre que lo empiezo a leer me hago bolas por donde ubicarme porque la contraportada es donde inicia y la portada es donde termina (de hecho no sé cual es la portada y cual la contraportada por el asunto de hacerme bolas) Además la portada está escrita al derecho y la contraportada está escrita creo que al revés porque ya no sé cómo está.

Se me hizo chistoso porque creo que al inicio del libro tiene escrito que debes de firmar para prometer que vas a hacer todo al revés y abajo de la firma dice "espero que hayas firmado al revés".

Se los recomiendo a los niños entre seis a nueve.

Amazingly creative book! I love how it is backwards! It can really give a new point of view to people! So fun!

Similar to Wreck this Journal, this backwards and upside-down book is filled with instructions for drawings, writing prompts, games, and activities. Readers can fold a page into a paper airplane, create finger- and toenail prints, do textured crayon rubbings, eat an entire meal backwards, and much more. This book is a great choice for a gift or prize, but because of its interactive nature, does not necessarily fit into the library’s permanent collection.
