Follow This Line

Young readers trace a continuous line through vibrantly illustrated landscapes that are full of charm and surprises, while answering questions about what they see.

Follow the line...into a board book! Re-imagined in a new format for the littlest readers, Follow This Line takes you on an adventure across varying landscapes by tracing a continuous line throughout the book. Starting on the front cover, the line zigs and zags across scenes both urban and pastoral, playfully spiraling into the shapes of animals, faces, buildings, vehicles and more, all without breaking its stride. Along their journey, kids will be asked to count, sort, and identify objects, creating an entertaining opportunity to practice early concepts through these attractive, whimsical, Scandinavian-style designs.

Adapted from artist Laura Ljungkvist’ popular picture book series Follow the Line (Viking, 2006-2011), Follow This Line introduces her clever continuous line drawings to a whole new audience.
