White Noise is marketed as a pop-up book for all ages, due to its abstract content and elaborate pop-ups. As you turn the pages, the pop-ups rub against the pages and create the white noise, while the accompanying text seems to mainly be there to add rhythm as there isn't a narrative.
This is obviously very advanced for a pop-up book, and has taken some time and skill. This book could keep anyone entertained, although it seems that it could be easily damaged by a young child, and so could be a viable style to use for the main brief as it adds a level of interactivity and difference.
'Wreck This Journal', by Keri Smith
'Wreck This Journal', while not necessarily a book for children, features some interesting additional features. Each page encourages the reader to wreck or embellish it in a different way, with text such as 'poke holes in this page using a pencil', 'write one word over and over', and 'climb up high - drop the journal'. This gives it an extra element and encourages creativity from the reader. I thought about perhaps bringing some element of this into my designs for the brief, but the problem is that the book can only really be enjoyed once.
'The Dangerous Book for Boys', by Conn and Hal Iggulden
'The Dangerous Book for Boys' is a guidebook that encourages children to partake in outdoors activities such as building treehouses and markets it as for boys aged eight to eighty, featuring things that every boy should know. There is also a pocket edition, as the original is a large hardback, which gives an added dimension.
