Description

I am a minibombo book: a little book buzzing with a big idea.

In this playful, interactive introduction to ideas of perspective, youre invited to guess the seven animals that hide in the books pages. It may sound easy but, at first, you can only see the animals right up close and things look so different from up close and faraway! What looks like an elephants trunk might actually be a little birdies tail and those two googly eyes Well, when we zoom out, they dont really look like eyes at all! Another funny, wordless picture book from the innovative creators of The White Book and Black Cat, White Cat, this stylish picture book challenges the reader to look at things from a different angle, and forces them to see things anew.

Reviews

Interactive and entertaining like its partner, eye-catching colours are again at play and both books promise to bring a smile to the faces of early learners in a simple and challenging educational experience. * Buzzwords *
it is a useful concept book for teachers working on perspective and near/far. It could be used as a starting point for perspective activities and artwork and to kick start discussions about how different people can see different things when looking at the same thing. * Read Plus *
Basically they are concept books in which under 3s learn about a single concrete notion. But they include silent surprise and hidden giggles that further enrich the imagination. * 4MBS Radio *
