Octavo. (16)pp. Collages of cut paper, all handmade from natural fibers and some marbled, join hand-colored elements and letterpress-printed text to assemble this artist's book for children. Gamez's poems work both as songs and mnemonics, resulting in an unusual and intriguing blend of material tactility and nursery rhymes. With title page split in two, and dedication on separate slip tucked into pocket. Bound in printed wrappers with green and blue cloth spine and tie which fastens to a button at the front cover. Bump to lower corner, else near fine.
