around the world with mouk

I love, love, love illustrated children's books! I picked up this one, Around the World with Mouk by Marc Boutavant, in a nice little Napier bookshop called Beattie & Forbes (est. 1969!)

Mouk, a little bear travels the world
meeting new friends and discovering new cultures. I fell in love with the charming illustrations which I could study for hours.

Here are just a few of the places Mouk visits....

Greece
China
Japan
New York
Also found two sheets of vinyl stickers at the back of the book!
Bonus!

  4. I was looking at this book at a friends a couple months ago, it really stood out from the usual kid's books. I must admit it reminded me somewhat of the Richard Scarry books with all the detailed activity in each picture.
