I think the book, called 'Follow the Line', was probably originally written in English rather than being translated, but the stylised illustrations give me a sense of 'elsewhere', and my 18-month-old loves them. See the website www.followtheline.com. Thanks, Katie and Lou, for telling us about all these wonderful books – especially important for those of us with boys, I believe.
