Summary:
The pictures tell the story in this clever book. Perspective changes as each picture is a zoom-in or zoom-out of the preceding one.
Teaching Ideas:
This book would be great to use for discussion or writing about perspective--how things change depending on how you look at them. Writing possibilities abound as well. For example, pairs of students might decide what's on the particular pages and then write about them. Later they could cut their version apart and give it to another pair for reassembling. Teachers will find the book useful for focusing on description, prediction, or storytelling. It might be fun to follow up with cameras that have zoom functions.
