The Universe—Scholastic Readers

Carling Design created The Universe—a new four-book series for Scholastic Library Publishing—in just 136 hours, shattering the previous record chronicled in Genesis! With engaging photos, clear diagrams, and simple language, these four books — The Sun, The Moon, The Stars, and Earth — bring complex science alive for early elementary readers. And to lighten the fire and brimstone factor, we created “Rocket”, an intelligently designed cartoon space dog guide.

 
“Whether for a simple board book or a complicated, 300-page, illustrated book, Carling Design is always the first call we make. Shoreline has worked hand-in-mouse with Carling for more than ten years and they have never delivered anything less than superb work...and on time and on budget. I personally also worked with Tom while I was at Sports Illustrated and can also highly recommend him for magazine projects as well. Plus, along with being a fine designer, he’s also one of the nicest people you’ll ever work with in this business!”
