De schat van Teun (Teun's treasure) - Marion Brillemans & Ann Conefrey - The Netherlands

Stong Points:

  • The subject is topical, it shows a cane for the blind.
  • The illustrations are relevant, the materials are well chosen.
  • It deals with everyday recognition.
  • This book can be presented to a wider audience.
  • The story about disability is interesting.
  • There are good contrast.
  • The binding concept is an interesting one. It makes for comfortable reading.
  • An interesting format.
  • Overall, this book is very well produced.
  • The outlines of the images are well defined.
  • The object images are not on the characters.
    There are haptics images (gestures adapted for the stairs).
  • The mail is read in Braille and is not read by sighted people,
    so the visually impaired are in a strong position.
  • The story is fluid.

Points to improve:

  • The impromptu ending is hard to understand.
  • The image of the bottle. The cork is on top.
  • The proportions in relation to the perspectives are difficult to understand.
  • The illustrations are a bit flat and glued together, and this gives a lack of feel.
    Tech is not easy to understand.
  • Beware of the font, the serif is not very accessible for the visually impaired.
