The Animal Pocket Knife is for adults who still like their toys! Similar to a Swiss army knife, a variety of stainless steel heads, tails and legs fold out to reveal some of Africa’s native wildlife like the giraffe, antelope and rhinoceros. Perfect for storytelling! (via Marc Sardà)

Animales animados, Serguéi Tretiakov, Varvara Stepánova y Aleksandr Ródchenko. Editorial Gustavo Gili, Los cuentos de la cometa.
This story in verse was created in 1926 by Serguéi Tretyakov and tells how Vania, Katia and other children play to become all kinds of animals making use of everyday utensils.
Aleksandr Rodchenko was asked to illustrate the verses with his photographs. With Varvara Stepánova, they created small cardboard figures and photographed them playing with lights and shadows.
The children’s book was not published, but the poems and photography shots were preserved. Gustavo Gili presents, in a bilingual version (Spanish-Russian), how this book could have been in the minds of its creators.

Phantoms by Antonio Ladrillo
We love Antonio Ladrillo’s work. And this thaumatrope is a wonderful gift for a kids.
A thaumatrope is a card with a picture on each side is attached to two pieces of string. When the strings are twirled quickly between the fingers the two pictures appear to combine into a single image due to persistence of vision (via Éditions du livre)
