Synopsis

Look at it sideways/ Look down from the top./ Turn it around;/ Then try a flipflop./ --What do you see?/ I see a young man / Looking over a wall./ Or/ Two bugs jumping rope/ Hopping high, hopping tall. Each creative spread is preceded by a question that encourages youngsters to examine the ups the downs and the all-around of simple shapes. From here, the sky is the limit as circles, dots, squares, and more become the platform for trees with swings, railroad tracks edging their way out of town, and even an old wooden fence just about to fall down. Look at that line—is it really a line, or is it a lizard? Look at that oval—is it really an oval or is it a ladybug? Or an egg? Lines—curvy lines, squiggly lines, short ones, tall ones, fat ones, all combine to create pictures, stories, and a highly creative way to see the world and tell stories through pictures. This title is full of imaginative approaches to artwork, and perfect for curious children, who are eager to combine shapes and sizes in art. There’s no end to the creativity this book facilities, as youngsters open their eyes and the windows of their own creativity. It is a perfect way for adults and youngsters to see the world in a whole new way.
