505: Bruno Munari- Drawing the Sun

I saw this book when browsing in Colours May Vary the other day. I didn't buy it because it hadn't a price tag and I was afraid of the price but quickly browsed through it. It seemed interesting, a way of expressing a sort of abstract idea to children which I'm interested in. I mostly just liked its atmosphere, more than anything it was just a reminder of how you can push the genre of children's books. Still, it doesn't feel wholly like a kid's book. I do wonder how much a child would actually enjoy it. Come to think of it, is that what it's marketed as? Just because it is mostly visual and simple writing and of a -tame- subject, am I assuming too much?


On another note I quite liked the format of it. Mostly when I think of children's books I think BIG but this was cute... can a small book still be immersive?
