If you know us already, you'll know that we love creating books. It's probably a throwback to childhood; all the best treasure is buried in books. We're always being asked to send people copies of our books, but we always run out. So we've decided to write a series of posts on here about some of our favourites. It'll never be as good as sending you the real thing, but it's the best we can do.
Here's the first one we've chosen. This is a book we send out to say hello to clients we'd love to work with.
As the touchy feely name suggests, each page is tactile - the woolly beard...
The 'sticky, grabby' hands...
The 'cloth' ears...
And finally, the lovely, rubbery, feeling of touching LOVE...
Clients seem to really like receiving this book (Yorkshire Tea put us on their pitch shortlist after receiving one). Maybe it's just a little bit different from the tons of other stuff they receive every day. Maybe it's because it doesn't ram the agency "sell" down their throats.

Thats quite endearing really. The key is that kids would still love it.

We've heard that our clients normally take the book home for their kids which is another reason for its popularity - though I doubt it's the most gripping story they've heard at bed-time...

Looks fantastic, you should do a version to sell in Magma.

A brilliant idea.
Great minds like a think, as someone once said: http://noisydecentgraphics.typepad.com/design/2005/12/thats_not_my_br.html

I LOVE this. I had a brilliant dream recently about making children's books at Bloom.

I'm pretty sure she'll still prefer That's Not My Puppy over That's Not My Agency, but if you send us you're address we'll see if there's a spare copy hanging around.

It looks like a really good book. I'm sure the kids will love it. Too bad I didn't get a copy of it, I might just search for it in Amazon or something anyway. :)
Thanks for sharing!
