Where Is Everybody?
The prolific and visionary artist, writer, illustrator, director, choreographer and teacher Remy Charlip was the creator of more than 40 children's books, including the beloved Dress Up and Let's Have a Party and Fortunately! . Where Is Everybody continues Charlip's distinctive tradition of deceptively simple illustrations (the first page is blank, bearing only the words 'Here is an empty sky'), slowly building a scene piece by piece, and eventually, a surreal narrative sure to delight readers and expand children's ideas of what a picture book can be.

Made me smile. :) I wish I'd gotten to read books like these as a child.

Un libro muy sencillo pero muy interesante, para que los peques se fijen en los detalles.

I decide to read this book because the cover looked interesting. I thought it would be a search and find and it sort of is in the end. I like how it was written that things were added on to one seen and then it asked to find the things it added after it started raining. I think it would be a fun book for young readers.

Leí la edición en español de Lata de Sal. Buenísimos, tanto la historia como la ilustración. Clásico.
