More than fifty years after its original publication, AMMO Books is
proud to present this reissue edition of an artistic and imaginative
title clearly ahead of its time.
BR> Not to be deterred by a hurried schedule or the start of school, a
child takes his time to carefully consider whatever flights of fancy
come to mind. Delicious, juicy watermelons, bubbling streams and playful
puddles, and even particles of dust that dance in the sunlight distract
the inventive child from his daily tasks.
With artfully simple images as food for thought, young readers will find
their own minds wandering as they dream up individual interpretations of
THE THINKING BOOK. No analysis will be deemed incorrect, as every flip
of the page provides new opportunities for inspiration.
To accompany Sandol Stoddard Warburg's thoughtful prose, prolific
graphic designer and AIGA medal winner Ivan Chermayeff quite literally
paints a picture of childhood imagination. In the time since THE
THINKING BOOK's initial release, Chermayeff has built a glowing,
sixty-year reputation in the design industry, receiving recognition for
the NBC, National Geographic, and Showtime logos, as well as banners and
shopping bags for The Museum of Modern Art, where he was a trustee for
two decades. With his design firm, Chermayeff & Geismar & Haviv, he has
earned countless honors, including the National Design Award for
Lifetime Achievement.
