Zga spaget gre v sirni svet
by Aksinja Kermauner
Age Range: 6-8
Žga špaget gre v širni svet was included in the ‘Reading the Way’: Inclusive Books from Around the World Research and ‘Reading the Way 2’ projects. The book is not available in English but is referred to as Spaghetti Joe Goes into the Wide World throughout the RtW Research projects. (Full report in the Education Zone of this website)
Spaghetti Joe escapes from the cooking pot and on his way into the world comes across an apple. The apple is convinced that this strand of spaghetti is an enormous worm that will eat him. This picture book, produced in ring-bound format, is multi-functional with the story in both text and braille with several tactile illustrations – and even with some smells!
This is a highly unusual picture book which can be read, touched and even smelt. The large watercolour illustrations by Slovene artist Zvonko Coh are depicted as life-size and is produced in ring-bound format, with the story in both text and braille, several tactile illustrations and even with some smells! OIW concluded that the book had proved to be one of the most entertaining for the children. In terms of accessibility, the book demonstrated good practice in terms of the sensory appeal and the inclusion of braille.
