Key IdeaThe Odd One Out series is made up of four search and find picture books for children. In each book you have to solve 15 picture puzzles that get harder as you go along. Each illustration is accompanied by a short poem that gives clues about what you have to look for in the illustration. At first sight the illustration looks like a homogenous wallpaper-like pattern but if you look hard enough you will be able to find ‘ the odd one out, ‘the pair’ or ‘the one that’s not a pair’ ... I wanted to create an elegant and classic search and find book
