Zoom
A wordless book which imitates the zoom lens of a camera in reverse. Pulling back from the initial image, a larger and larger context is revealed, until at last the earth is seen from space as a tiny dot.
Open this wordless book and Zoom- from a farm to a ship to a city street to a desert island. But if you think you know where you are, guess again. Mysterious landscape of pictures within pictures, nothing is ever as it seems. You won't believe your eyes.
When readers young and old open this wordless book, they'll zoom from page to page—from a farm to a ship to a city street to a desert island. But if they think that they know where they are, they can guess again. For nothing is ever as it seems in Istvan Banyai's mysterious landscapes of pictures within pictures.
As much a brilliant collection of art as it is an enthralling children's picture book, Zoom has already captivated readers around the world. It is the winner of numerous accolades, including a Publishers Weekly Best Book award.
