You Won’’t Believe it Until You See It

Ingeborg Eliassen

The year's longest book! A very special accordion-book that grows as you read it. Unfold this humorous and spirited picture book and see everything that happens in the kitchen while you're sleeping! I wake up from some noises and creep downstairs, but almost don't believe what I'm seeing – because underneath the striped kitchen mat, I find nothing other than the cross-eyed neighbor cat snoring! But that's not the worst part … Technical facts: You Won't Believe It Until You See It is made of solid paper (but not cardboard). It can be read like a normal book, but when you unfold it, it grows to be three meters long! On the one side, you can read the poem and see what is happening in the kitchen – and it's a lot! On the other side of the accordion, we're standing outside of the house and peeking through the window. Without doubt, this year's most original book!
