My Valentine

My amor and I love to read aloud to one another, but he left for Argentina before we could finish our current book, The Little Prince by Antoine Saint-Exupery. For Valentine's Day I thought I'd send him the next chapter in the form of a tiny accordion book:

Maybe I'll add a border, or a "binding"?

Before coloring

Before I added color and pop-up illustrations.

Here's the Geographer.

In his full three-dimensional glory

I added this map, which does not appear in the original book.
