Among everyday objects that are depicted in a special style and with the impressive use of only two color shades, readers are asked to identify, in each two-page book (total 64 pages), the one that stands out in its own way. The deceptive game with the shape makes the objects look like each other, so the search suddenly becomes confusing! The visual jokes are many and varied, from correlations (an egg between birds) to clever parallels with the guide figure (an airplane between insects), resulting in a book without any words causing much discussion. And the enjoyment of decryption and classification certainly goes beyond its pages. At the end of the book, you will find four detachable paper forms -stencils- to create two of his figures… but also to imagine even more!
