Understanding Optical Illusion for Young Children

This title includes some very fine examples of illusion and optical pattern art. There are also some separate pieces that are stored within the book that can be manipulated or moved to create illusions. Some of the pieces and movable parts of the book I find too fragile to allow on the bookshelf in my elementary classroom, but for individual children, it is a fascinating study.
