Book Description
Hello, Cutie! is an irresistible illustrated guide to the things that make you say, “”””Awww!”””” Pamela Klaffke takes readers on a rainbow and unicorn-filled journey through cute culture: From its origins in Japan where teenage girls drive the cute economy, to cute food and anthropomorphized animals, to its modern day manifestations in the bubblegum-coloured careers of performers like Katy Perry. Complete with doe-eyed dolls and sweet plush kittens, Hello, Cutie! is the perfect title for collectors and enthusiasts who live and breathe all things cuddly and adorable.
Editorial Reviews
Review
“You don’t have to collect or even love cute itself to enjoy this book …Hello, Cutie! will introduce you to cute and those of us who love it and, I think, have you understanding, if not agreeing with us. And if you, or someone you love, gets high off low-brow, this is the book to get.” —Collectors’ Quest
