Curious World: Tales of Imagination

What’s it like to look at the world with a dash of curiosity, and a pinch of imagination? 

Children and adults alike will love it when photographer Lawrence Longsnout takes us on a tour of the world that he sees through the lens of his camera. It’s a curious world: one that fascinates and delights. 

Thanks to Longsnout, we are formally introduced to Watchdog George and his devotion to precision and punctuality. We meet Willa, and discover her aspirations and challenges about becoming a ballerina. And the free-spirited Coyote Jack shows us his love for wide-open spaces. These characters, and many others, will open our hearts and minds to seeing the ordinary in an extraordinary way. And we just might realize that we live in a truly Curious World. 

Curious World is J.G. Piper’s third children’s book. Like Black Cats Get a Bad Rap and A Dog By Any Other Name is Not the Same, children will be fascinated by Curious World. Once again, whimsy brings animals alive in stories that provide teaching moments in real-life, even as they entertain young minds. Featuring J.G. Piper’s signature style of warm and casual rhyme, Curious World takes you on a whimsical ride. Along the way, both children and adults are once again captivated by the enchanting illustrations, lovingly created by the author’s mother, artist Linda Apple.
