This very original game-book is certain to entertain children of all ages as well as their families! In its practical big-book format, eight traditional board games are recreated in a Christmas version with splendid illustrations. Children can detach and assemble the cardboard figures at the back of the book to play The Game of the Goose in the Gift Factory or to race to Santa's house after throwing the dice. Claudia Bordin's precious, colourful illustrations depict suggestive fantasy scenarios that will transport both the young and the old to the most magical atmosphere of the year. AGES: 5 plus AUTHOR: After graduating in illustration at IED in Milan, Claudia Bordin taught for five years Art and Image in primary schools, while devoting herself to drawing. Working with children and with their "worlds", which expressed imagination in their thoughts and drawings, made her desire to release her imagination too. So now she works, as an illustrator, with some publishing houses and communication agencies and is also involved in custom-made wedding stationery. Five years ago she founded Mondo Mombo: a logo, a stage name, but, above all, a virtual world where she uses her illustrative skills for new ideas and projects.
