The Black and White Factory

By Eric Telchin, Illustrated by Diego Funck

$17.99 US / $23.99 CAN

Welcome to the Black and White Factory! Penguin, zebra, and panda will take you on a top-secret tour to see some black and white products that are made here, like salt and pepper shakers, dice, half decks of playing cards (only spades and clubs!), chess pieces, and tuxedos, in addition to a few special experimental projects. There are a few rules, though: No messes. No colors. No surprises allowed. EVER.

But when the tour gets to the bar code room, some color has seeped in! It’s up to the reader to try and rub it off and tilt the book so that it comes off, but nothing works! The animals then use a giant cleaning contraption and need you to help blow into the nozzle to power the machine, and it starts to work! But there’s too much color to clean, and it blows color all over the factory. And the animals love it! But of course, they’ll have to change the rules a bit now.
