The Big White Book with almost nothing in it

Take some blank white pages and develop it into a game of hide-and-seek told in rhyme by the various clown-like inhabitants who hide behind flaps of all shapes and sizes; gutter-snipes creep across cracks between the spreads, gradually revealing themselves as the reader digs deeper into the book. Add a few fonts designed to mirror the shape and size of the particular flap-dweller, a pair or pop-up scissors and the odd book worm to perforate pages. The end result is a confection of a book - big on style but without the vital ingredient: story. Nevertheless, a pleasant diversion and a useful starting point for children's own explorations into book-making techniques.
