Bright color photographs reveal dots, spots, speckles, and stripes on faces, animals, clothing and environment in this wordless book.
Teaching Ideas:

Students could also create their own books from magazine photographs on another theme that emphasizes perceptual awareness such as smooth and rough textures.
