About Who's That Eating Opspring Prenteboek
Hierdie interaktiewe opspring-boek volg sewe diere wat hul gunstelingpeuselhappies geniet, elk met 'n 3D-opspring-vou wat hul kenmerkende eetstyl ten toon stel. Elke opspring is ontwerp met 'n enkele bladsy-uitsnyding, en 'n tweede rugbladsy wat die binnekant van elke mond onthul en strukturele integriteit byvoeg. Hierdie eenvoudige ontwerp, gekombineer met papierkollage-illustrasies, bring lewe aan elke dier. Die teks sluit eetgeluide in deur middel van Japannese klanknabootsing, wat die leser aanmoedig om die bladsye oop en toe te maak terwyl die diere wegkou.

Press Kit
- Unique Properties
- This interactive pop-up book features seven different animals enjoying a snack, each with their own unique 3D pop up fold showcasing their eating style. Each pop up was designed with just a single page cut out. This simple design, combined with paper collage illustrations, brings life to each animal as they jump out from the page. The text includes eating sounds via Japanese onomatopoeia, encouraging the reader to open and close the pages as the animals munch away.

- Production Technology
- Traditionally, pop up books are created by pasting folded paper onto a bound page. With a younger audience in mind, I closely considered book durability in my design process. I challenged myself to design each pop up using a single cut and folded page, laminated against a printed backing page that reveals the inside of each mouth. If the page happens to tear, this design makes it easy to repair.
Each illustration was hand collaged with various materials and papers to create my own textures and colors. - Design Challenge
- The biggest challenge in this project was to design seven distinct pop ups that accurately depict each animal’s unique eating motion.
- Research
- For research, I looked at several pop up books for inspiration. I was curious about their approaches to book production and storytelling. I found that there are many complex pop up books right now, and I wanted to counter that by making something simple and durable, yet effective and interesting.
Prototypes were tested by a dedicated quality control specialist, my young son Ito. - Inspiration
- After experimenting with paper to make a simple pop up, I found that the pop up moved as I opened and closed the folded paper. This motion reminded me of an animal eating, which inspired me to create a picture book.
- Project Duration
- The project started in December 2014 in Tokyo and finished in December 2019 in Tokyo. Published in May 2020.
- Operation Flow
- For each spread, the reader is greeted with a different snack and an animal's hand. Who's that eating? To reveal the animal pop up, the page is extended out from the center. The alternative was to flip to a new page, but I aimed to keep each prompt contained. This design ensures a smooth flow from question to answer.
