The Japanese illustrator and writer of children's books is better known for his wordless work but I have recently discovered some of his more interesting forays into broader areas.
In this particular book, Anno has teamed up with a friend of his, Akihiro Nozaki who is also a writer but of mathematics. Together they present more of an information text presented in a narrative format that explores the nature of logic. The reader is involved in this story (shown in the form of a shadow which I loved) along with a boy and a girl. The narrator guides us through the mathematical exploration which involves the reader working out what colour hat is on their head.
As an introduction into the basics of logic encouraging the imagination it's outstanding and probably one of a kind. Amusing and fascinating.
