Open this wordless book and zoom from a farm to a ship to a city street to a desert island. But if you think you know where you are, guess again. For nothing is as it seems in Banyai's mysterious landscapes of picture within pictures. Full color.

5 out of 5 stars wonderful picture book (no words)   December 21, 2008
This book is fantastic - it has become my standard baby gift. The book starts with a picture, and then zooms into smaller and smaller views of the same picture. It can start long conversations with your kids. I am a college professor and many of my colleagues use it in their classes to start discussions on perspective and diversity. But my young kids love it just for it's colorful pictures.


4 out of 5 stars ZOOM   December 16, 2008
My students loved how this book started from extremely close up and zoomed out. It's a great way to teach prediction from context clues.


5 out of 5 stars How great is this?!   October 11, 2008
How can you not love this book? It teaches children to think about the way we view the things around us. It is fun and exciting to see what something will morph into next. Because there are no words, children can set the pace to "read" this book. The conversational opportunities are endless.


5 out of 5 stars a true surprise!   September 17, 2008
Just flip the pages slowly - forwards and at times, back again. You're in for a good surprise-one after another. Enjoy!


5 out of 5 stars fun, fascinating   June 24, 2008
A friend gave me this book when I was in a super slump. I was amused and amazed as the pictures zoomed away from each other how they put both objects and actions into perspective, not only in terms of size, but also in terms of time and space. The artist cleverly starts with a rooster, a symbol of cockiness, and shows just where he really stands in the giant scheme of things.
