Mister Horizontal & Miss Vertical

48 pp. | Enchanted Lion | October, 2014 | Trade ISBN 978-1-59270-161-2 $17.95
(3) K-3 Translated by Claudia Bedrick. Illustrated by Olimpia Zagnoli. "Mister Horizontal likes water-skiing and boating..."; "Miss Vertical likes elevators." Alternating cut-paper-like tableaux show the different preoccupations of two people who wear stripes--his are horizontal, hers vertical--that reflect their respective interests. In an homage to the René Maltête photograph that inspired this mind-expanding concept book, a final illustration presents them with the inevitable product of their union: a checkered-shirt-wearing child.
