Guido Van Genechten (1957, Belgium) studied drawing and painting, graphics and photography. Afterwards he worked for many years in the graphic industry. Now Guido works as a fulltime illustrator of children’s books. In 1998 he won the international Illustrator’s Award City of Hasselt with his picture book Ricky. This prize was the beginning of his international career as a children’s book illustrator. Since that moment, Guido Van Genechten has created many best-selling stories and received several awards. In 2007 he was the winner of the Reader’s Digest Award for Best Children’s Book Illustrator. And in the past ten years his books were published in 30 countries around the world.PreS-Each book features seven simple puzzles for toddlers to solve. Guess What? poses questions comparing the appearances of animals and objects, while Guess Where? focuses on where animals perform tasks. A single question is set against a white background, e.g., "Guess what looks like bare tree branches?" The opposite page features an appropriate acrylic cartoon image, such as a tree branch with adjacent leaves fluttering down. A full-page flap unfolds to reveal the antlers of a deer. Guess Where? asks where the dog goes to the bathroom; opening the flap shows "Against a tree!" Though these books are sometimes tricky or a little too advanced for the intended audience, toddlers will enjoy the game. - Laura Hunter, Mount Laurel Library, NJα(c) Copyright 2011.
