Dooleyglot books are all about investigation. They use a young child’s innate visual sense to help them discover and learn. It’s no accident that there is a simple object floating in space on one page, and that same object is found centered among a complex swirl of bold lines and brilliant colors on the facing page. These environments are constructed for a child to work to perceive. They’re built to help you take things further.

 Dooleyglots are no normal baby books. The images in these books are meant to induce the same sorts of visual complexities that a child encounters in real life: objects seen in busy contexts, in variable conditions, from diverse perspectives, of different types, and in parts. The highly keyed colors and interlaced shapes keep their eyes moving and trying to find more. Adults also enjoy investigating these wonderful environments, once they get past the idea that they are looking at a baby book.
