Doodle Cook by Hervé Tullet
With dollops of circles and lashings of colour, Doodle Cook by Hervé Tullet is a creative and inspiring book. With fun and exciting ‘recipes’ to draw such as ‘Magic Marmalade’ and ‘Crayon Puff Pastries’ Tullet serves up this book with humour and a light-hearted touch that gets children thinking, involved and perhaps a little preoccupied while mum is busy in the kitchen herself!
About the author
Hervé Tullet, born in 1958, studied Fine Art and went further to work as an Art Director before joining the advertising industry. He published his first children’s book in 1994 and since has become known as the ‘Prince of pre-school books’ in France. He is the father of a boy and a girl, who he says never fail to inspire him. His series of inventive board books Let’s Play Games is also published by Phaidon Press.
