The Castaway Pirates

An excellent illustrator and friend of mine, Wilson Swain, has a new book coming out that is fantastic and quite appropriate to mention on Paper Forest.  The Castaway Pirates is the first pop-up book published by Chronicle Books, and it was written and engineered by Ray Marshall.

 This lovely book trailer shows some of the great illustration and engineering involved in this impressive pop-up book.

Paper Toys by Francois Chetcuti

Can't find much info on this book,Paper Toys by Francois Chetcuti, but it looks like it will be available May 7th. You can pre-order it from Amazon here.
The cover design is a little uninspired but the toys themselves look pretty sweet.
Anybody got any more info on this?
Description from Amazon:
This extraordinary construction kit contains eight different models to build yourself - from a delightful car with driver to a pop-up monster or a plane with propeller. There are perforated construction sheets for each figure and additional material, including wooden sticks, rubber bands and beads, and an extensive manual with detailed step-by-step illustrations. Even those with limited experience will be able to build these models. The colorful results will delight children and the young at heart alike. The models have been lovingly created and include ingenious mechanisms: when you push the car, the driver and his luggage sway amusingly from side to side, the doll moves gracefully at the slightest breath of wind, and the clown's facial expression changes when you turn the stick.

Simple Paper Ideas from Chronicle

The Chronicle Books Blog has a post on using paper in creative ways. They are relatively simple suggestions, but I like the paper clips idea (shown Above) to easily make something mundane look a bit more "designer". See a few more pictures and ideas on the Chronicle Site.

Paper Toys for Little Hands

I've been off the map while Matt has been posting some great stuff! I actually just had a baby boy two weeks ago, and the day leading up to and after his birthday were very busy!

So I'm back to start posting more often. I know I post Rob Ive's new stuff with regularity, but this seemed appropriate today. When will my (now completely immobile) child get to do some fun paper toys with mommy? Sooner than I might have though. Rob Ives' new little books with baby animals tell a story and have a very simple paper toy to go with it. Check out his site for the new books!

You may also want to check out Phillip Fickling's books- he has two kid's book with this same concept. I've posted about him before, but thought I'd refresh your memory since I think it was a couple years ago.
