PS
Two inventive wordless books explore concepts through visuals alone. Near features three-sequence spreads, zooming out and out and out to reveal entire creatures. Each spread in Now shows cartoony animals with big round eyes; turn the page and someone is missing (the eyes remain--a clue!), along with changes in background color and details. Spare digital illustrations in bright colors cheerily support the concepts. Review covers these titles: Near, Far and Now You See Me, Now You Don't.
