Inside Outside

(3) K-3 Eighteen left-hand pages offer a close-up of a subject (e.g., a chick inside an egg; a beating human heart) while each corresponding right-hand page shows an outside view (the chick's family eagerly awaiting its hatching; a bungee jumper in flight). Digitally illustrated with clean lines and decisive color, this large-scale wordless book from the creators of Before After is a captivating study in perspective.
