This was an e-book, to be precise, which I found while browsing through the blog of the very creative Emila Yusof, whom I have now added to my blogroll. She is a professional blogger painter, children's book writer and illustrator, as well as a freelance illustrator.
I like the clean layout of her blog and if you ask my close friends, they would say that it is a very 'me' blog. I think it is more me than my own blog!
This e-book is basically a children's guide to places of interest in KL. I would think that children would be attracted to the illustration and would be motivated to recognise the words used. Without realising, children are developing several skills, such as literacy, language, social and conceptual among other skills. I will go into more detail about these skills in a following post.
I am heartened with the fact that there is someone out there in Malaysia producing some good quality stuff for our kids. More importantly, stuff that is relevant to the lives of Malaysian children.
She has made it free for all to download for personal use. Please go to http://emilayusof.com/kids/, scroll down to nearly the bottom and you would be able to see it on your right.

Hi Chrys! Thanks for sharing this. Her artwork is beautiful and she's one of the many Malaysians I'd be proud of too :)
By the way, did you know that I also blog about children's books at http://www.abookathon.com?
I did not know Christine! I'll blog-hop over now!
