look closely

This is a very pleasing little book, at first glance offering attractive artwork and a simple visual story. Approached more thoughtfully, it also delivers a lesson on perspective that, with some adult guidance, can be applied quite broadly. You may not see a lightbulb come on with the first reading, but insights develop with independent re-explorations of the inviting graphics. This book provides a nice balance to the passive entertainment provided by many childrens' books.
