A true picture book - the images continue to zoom out which can be fun to keep children guessing what may come next, or to imagine the story of the people/images on each page. The story can also be told in reverse and still captivate attention.
Nice for a discussion on art, perspective, or that fun imaginative game about stepping into a photograph or painting.
I like the you tube video because I think it's fun to accompany the book with music.

This is a picture book for kids and adults, alike. With each page you turn you are removed further from the scene, as if you are ZOOMING out. For example, one page is a detailed cruise ship with passengers and the next page you ZOOM out and see that it is just an ad for a cruise ship on the side of a bus, and so on. Check out http://youtube.com/watch?v=lhY... and see the whole book!

such a simple profound little book to remind young and old alike what widening our perceptions provides in the way of possibilities! my favorite book to give as a gift.

Mr. Banyai does some weird and edgy art in his not-for-kids illustrations (how else would he warrant "Absolut Istvan"?), but his distinctive style makes him easy to spot in any context - graphic and comic-ish. Also check him out on the covers of Doing It and How I Live Now.

Indispensable for teaching writing: small details become the main point. I prefer this to the second book, but they are both of a piece. I've been using it for so long as a teaching tool that I'm not sure how great a picture book it is.

Banyai's illustrations are brilliant. If you've read magazines of any sort in the last decade, you are familiar with them. Echoes of windsor McCay on coke and disco. This wordless book never ceases to draw me in.
