There once was a mouse called Noah with green eyes. He lived in a hole almost all the time. One day as he was thinking about going out, he saw a blue eye staring at him from outside his hole. At the same time all of this was happening, a mouse called Raffaella was passing by, and thinking she would like to explore a little, looked into the hole and saw a green eye. Noah had never seen a blue eye before and he imagined it belonged to a dragon, or something even worse. Raffaella had never seen a green eye before and she imagined it belonged to a murderer, or a traffic warden. Noah then thought that the blue eye belonged to a snake. Then Raffaella thought it was a cat's green eye that she saw. 'Who are you?' 'Who are you?' 'I'll tell you if you'll tell me first'. 'Why should I tell you first?' By using a creative layout with a real hole in each page, the reader enters the imaginative minds of two little mice and thinks of what kind of animal the other could be until the very end when, on the count of three, Noah comes out of his hole. This is a cleverly and beautifully designed book by world renowned and acclaimed graphic designer and teacher, Bob Gill. This book playfully stimulates a child's imagination.

The carefully wrapped present was perched half-hidden on his parents' closet shelf. Arthur, a little boy with a very large imagination, feverishly tried to guess what it might contain. A pet? A shiny trumpet? A new computer? The possibilities were almost endless. All for him and him alone€”until the doorbell interrupted his reverie. What happened next is a remarkable and soul-satisfying reminder that the act of sharing is perhaps the greatest present of all. A simple and timeless tale of spontaneous generosity, told with understated humor, a great warmth and a brilliantly direct graphic stylewhich go to the very heart of the human experience. With the gentle insight of A Cup of Christmas Tea and the resonant innocence of The Giving Tree, Bob Gill's book is destined to become a best-loved gift about gift-giving.

Bob Gill is a genius when it comes to graphic design, and this book is the proof of it. While this edition may be out of print, it would be a worthy addition to any personal or professional creative library. So if you don't own this book it's well worth the wait or extra fee.While the work presented here has a very dated 70's look to - that not what's important. The idea behind the work is that the graphic design communicates an idea. Each page in the book starts by giving you an "orginal problem" from a client - and then shows how Gill comes up with a solution to to not only solving the problem , but to redefine it. Gill uses a wide range of styles to solve his problems including plain typography, illustration and photography. His work is very clever, and is the opposite of people who just make pretty pictures.
