Imagine a World

Wow!  I love this book! Completely cool and fabulous and amazing.  Gives me the shivers.  Must get the rest in this series.  The illustrations are incredible, drawing on imagination and shifts in perspective to gradually guide the eye to two completely different pictures at once, depending on what part of the art you are looking at, but not like those cheesy black and white optical illusion things; more like an attention to detail and focus exercise.  While the artwork is the main draw, the text which accompanies it is poetical and draws one in even more to ponder the world of imagination.  The poems and the artwork each add to the other.  With young children, they’ll be drawn into the beauty and fun and the magic of it, but I think for older audiences there’s also things to be gained from this to be shared in art classes and poetry classes, too.
