Welcome to the world of Blop! A Blop is a simple shape, somewhere between a flower and a butterfly, a sponge and a drawing of a little man -- above all Blop is whatever you want it to be. Using very few woods and handwritten text I AM BLOP! explore many concepts encountered for the first time by young children, including up and down, single and plural, individual and family, city and countryside etc. This single shape represents anything a child's mind can imagine. With 110 illustrations in varying colors and patterns, little or sometimes no words at all, each page has a unique Blop that brigs a whole new dimension to children's reading. I AM BLOP! is an invitation to discover and explore everyday life and hundreds of ideas through one simple shape.

My 5 year old, 4 year old and 2 year old all loved this book. It sparked quite a bit of creativity after we read it: The kids made a bunch of little blop people and animals of their own. There is a section of the book that has colored film between the pages, allowing you to play with color mixing. The kids really liked that part. They also liked the part where one page had a mirrored surface and the adjacent page was printed backwards, so you had to look at the reflection to read it. There are lots of little thought-provoking questions about blops at the end of the book, and a page of blop shapes you can pop out and play with. All in all, really fun.
I bought this for a friend for her baby shower and she loved it. She says that her baby is even interested in looking at the pictures since there are so many different sizes and colors of blop within the book!
I just read this book today and it is so joyful. The colors and the diversity of a simple shape named Blop takes creativity to a whole new level. The storyline is dynamic and I couldn't help but tear up laughing at how cute/silly this shape is and its adventures of metamorphosis. I highly recommend this book for adults to read with their kids, grandkids, nieces, nephews, godchildren and etc. Loved it!
I have adored every book from Herve Tullet and this book is no different!Using a puffy X as a character (as seen on the cover) Tullet teaches many many concepts. He teaches colors, big vs small, counting, perspective, up and down, color mixing, distinguishing shapes, spacial concepts, as well as art concepts.Each page brought a smile to my face as I discovered another adventure of Blop. I love how Tullet uses something so simple as a puffy X to teach many concepts all in one book. And yet this simplicity is in no way boring. Even I could read this book over and over and enjoy it. There are exciting bits such as the mirror page and the color films that sit on top of the page to mix two colors together making a new color. There is also a page of punch out Blops that can be used with activities throughout the books. This book is very interactive. The text is very very simple.A warning is issued with this book as a choking hazard for ages 3 and under. This is possibly due to the Blop punch outs at the end. This book could easy become torn up if left out with the little ones even though it is mostly a board book. As with all of Tullet's books, I would buy it for any age, but keep it on a high shelf and bring it down to enjoy together. You cannot possibly be disappointed with this book!
I am not sure why it resonates so well with my toddler, but she is in love with this book. We read it every night and she loves reading it to herself. This book is creative and fun, it is a perfect addition to the library of any toddler or preschooler.
This is a very sweet book in a weird and lovely way. It's hard to explain, but it's a very simple and colorful book. I bought it for my nephew, and I laughed when I read it. It's absolutely worth it.
Simple but still interesting and inventive. Children are invited to be involved with the book, with questions and cut-outs. So pleased with this purchase!
... there is no way to get wrong with Hervé Tullet!Clever, fantastic, colorful, surprising, a true genius of the art of imagination for children.
I am Blop!
