Came across this at the library. A wordless book. Each page is an animal climbing out of the suit of another animal. Weirdly fascinating.

I bought this book for a nickle at a thrift store and had forgotten about it, until my mom emailed me yesterday about another excellent book without words. This one is laugh-out-loud funny. I'm going to
look for other books look for more books and works of art by this author/illustrator.

Please note this cover is for the French edition.

Very imaginative. Shows an elephant with buttons on the belly and each new animal emerges and is smaller than the first.
