Product Description

Product Description
A wordless book which imitates a zoom lens - in reverse. On each page the focus moves back to reveal a little more. Nothing is quite what it seems - the farmyard is in fact a model farmyard, which is a picture in a magazine, and so on - till at last the earth is seen from space as a tiny dot.

5.0 out of 5 stars You never know what your going to get!, 16 April 1999
By A Customer
My friend recently brought this book to school. She got it off of here. I loved it! Your always wondering what you'll find next. This book is definitley a "page turner" and thats what people like the best.

P.S. I'm 13 and I loved it so take away that 6-8 age limit because your losing ALOT of customers!

5.0 out of 5 stars Cool! Unique! Fun for all ages, 3 Sep 1999
By A Customer
What a unique, thought provoking book. Just shows what you see is not "as it appears". LOVED IT! Giving it to everyone I know at Christmas.

5.0 out of 5 stars A wonderful book for ALL ages!, 14 Oct 1998
By A Customer
Although I am a professional writer, my review isn't nearly as technical as the previous two readers'. This, quite simply, is a FUN BOOK! My four month old daughter enjoys the bright images on each page and adults love the zoom concept! It keeps you guessing and reminds you to look at the bigger picture in life... perhaps reminding you that you're not in the world all on your own. Add this to your bookshelf and then pick up an extra copy as sometimes it is not easy to find and you'll surely want to give one as a gift!
