Optical Illusions are a bit of a universal language. People from all over the globe have the same rods and cones in their eyes; so all of their eyes can be fooled into thinking erroneously.
This book is full of "moving" circles and images that aren't really there, but at the same time your brain says that they are. It is interactive with a decoder to help dispel what your eyes are telling you, as well as an illusion that you can build at the end. Children of all ages, as well as adults, will enjoy the trickery, as well as learning a bit of science behind the optical effects.
