Oliver Jeffer’s Lost and Found now animated!
Studio aka has completed a 25-minute film adaptation of Oliver Jeffer’s book Lost And Found. The film, directed by Philip Hunt, will debut on the UK’s Channel Four on Christmas Eve. When Oliver was visiting the studio he showed us snippet. Seeing Oliver’s characters come to life, it doesn’t get much better than that. I can’t wait to get this DVD for Ella.

super minimal coin bank
I believe this is the first coin bank ever that had me look. It was designed by swiss Bruno Limberger (1934-1994) who was a devoted architect, artist, and host. (I can’t stand those cheesy coin banks that seem to accumulate in every kid’s room. I know, I know, I am such a design snob.)
