From the wonderfully imaginative mind of Swedish illustrator Carl Johanson, this partly true, partly fictitious book is a fantastic visual collection of cars and other wacky forms of transportation.
Carl Johanson is an illustrator living and working in Bretagne,
France. He studied graphic design and illustration
at Konstfack in Stockholm, and has since focused mainly on
illustration and, in particular, creating books for children. All
Kinds of Cars (originally titled 'Carl's Car Dictionary') is his
first children's book, and he is currently working on a second
project. Some of Carl's clients include: H&M, Boden, NK,
Uniqlo, Rabén & Sjögren, and Actes Sud.
Swedish illustrator Johanson lays out this offering in the form of
a catalog, and young readers certainly won't hesitate in picking
out their favorites. This whimsical collection is delightful, and
provides fresh surprises at every turn. Most young audiences will
finish this and immediately demand another reading.
--Booklist, STARRED REVIEW It's a stylish and imaginative
collection that all but guarantees kids will be reaching for art
supplies as they dream up their own vehicles.
--Publisher's Weekly
[...] kids who love cars will enjoy this crazy compendium and will
be engaged by the imaginative take on a traditional subject.
--Kirkus Reviews
The simple but cleverly rendered vehicles are likely to inspire
children to grab some markers and get in on the fun. Exquisite
design and seductive production values make picking this book up a
no-brainer. Where to put it down ? on your child's night stand or a
living room coffee table ? will present the bigger problem.
--The New York Times Book Review
