A little
pricier than most concept books, the lacelike die-cut paper
illustrations really "pop" because they are set
against very eye appealing solid colors.
Mounted
on these bright colors, the elegant 2D images almost appear
to be 3D. The intricate scenes include a dog going up and
down a set of stairs, tall and short, big and small animals,
a bird up high and down low in a tree, a rabbit in and out
of a house, fast and slow critters and animals near and far
away.
Given
the nature of the book's design and the concepts it introduces,
this beautiful book would be more appropriate for an older
child. The suggested age is three and older but I think a
youngster 18 months or so would benefit from this reading
experience.
Adults
who collect children's books would definitely find this stunning
book to be a welcome addition to their libraries.
