Book design is an under-appreciated art. And to be fair, books, especially illustrated books, work just fine the way that the vast majority of them are laid out. It’s only when a book comes along that shatters the established mold that you realize how efficiently, and creatively a book can become. North Pole/South Pole: Pole to Pole: A Flip Book is one of those books. The key to its fun is in the flipbook, phrase. If the book weren’t accompanied with illustrations that are on point and text that’s informative and to the point, then that phrase could also have been a cheesy gimmick.
The result is an engaging illustrated book that utilizes every square inch of every page with its text and illustrations. Moreover, it’s a non-fiction book that loosely tells a story and concisely wraps it all up. The twist that makes the book unique is also head numbingly simple, yet could also be difficult to pair up with the yin to its yang.
