Picture Book Marathon: Day Sixteen

It is 88 years today since Howard Carter and his team unsealed the burial chamber of Tutankhamen. Therefore, in celebration of a guy who appeared from all the photos that I could find to conduct archaeological excavations in a full suit and fedora, I decided that today would see the combination of one of my favourite children's book genres, the puzzle book, with one of my other favourites, the pop-up/interactive book. Yes. A puzzle, pop-up book wherein we are called upon to help Howard Carter, fedora and all, to find the tomb of Tutankhamen with spinning wheels, mazes, and pop-up surprises galore. Howard's calm exterior masks a book of much excitement. I'm jazzed. Are you?

My photo
I'm a self-taught graphic designer, trying to work out how to make this thing called work, work. I've also got a degree in Art History and Film Studies, an interest, bordering on obsession with animation, strong views on typography, an enormous recipe file and a well used bible.
