My Search-and-Find Book: Our Village

Content

In this search-and-find book, Ali Mitgutsch lets his lovable characters tell many entertaining stories entirely without words: everything there is – and was – to see in a village, what people are doing and which vehicles are out and about, allowing children to explore village life in both summer and winter. People are working in a sawmill and at a construction site. Dictionary pages invite children to say new terms out loud. A search-and-find classic by Ali Mitgutsch.

About the Series

Search-and-find images tell countless stories for any generation, entirely without words.

The Illustrator

Ali Mitgutsch was born in 1935 in Munich. During the course of a very tedious lithography internship he decided to become a freelance graphic artist. He did then, in fact, study graphic arts and make his dream reality. Mitgutsch is married and has three children, and divides his time between the town of Schwabing and an old farmhouse in Bavaria. He draws inspiration for his illustrations from his extensive international travels. In 2003 he was awarded the prestigious Schwabinger Kunstpreis (Swabian Art Prize).
