Kalandraka Hitchhiking

$21.95

"Hitchhiking" is a crazy story, an adventure full of humor and hilarious situations that takes place aboard a car in which peculiar passengers join. A rhyming text presents a surfer preparing to go to the beach with his board. As he progresses through the city he picks up (or not) various characters, each one more unusual : a submariner, a superhero, an alligator... and even well-known storybook protagonists come out to meet him.

Each new traveling companion not only brings their own belongings, but also a characteristic quality, which adds to the carousel of emotions that the patient driver experiences as his vehicle fills with occupants and objects.

The result of this work by Guilherme Karsten is a cumulative story, with a lot of rhythm and sound, and with a circular approach that culminates in a surprising and open ending.

The graphic proposal, which runs in a linear manner, stands out for the color of the scenes and the chromatic contrasts within the framework of an urban, happy and casual aesthetic.

Theme: a shared trip with diverse hitchhiking characters.

Recommended age: from 4 years.
Notable aspects: rhymed text, cumulative structure; humor, adventure, emotions; colorful, urban aesthetic.

A fun rhymed and cumulative story that runs smoothly. Wheels not robust enough to support the weight of so many disparate and bizarre traveling companions.
