Hidden behind the pages of 'Where Should We Go' by Nate Coonrod is a surprise that kids nowadays would appreciate: a smartphone! The playful pop-up book was created by the illustrator to house the new Nokia mobile phone within a lighthearted story of a traveling family.
Driving from forest, to coast, to country and mountains, the clan search for the perfect place to holiday, with their handy handset as a GPS. 'Where Should We Go' is a child-friendly publication that's appealing to the whole family -- especially thanks to the cellphone bonus at the back.
