Editorial Reviews

Publishers Weekly
"Readers are in for a perpetually surprising-and even philosophical-adventure," said PW in a starred review of this wordless picture book that begins with a close-up of a rooster's comb and ends in outer space. Ages 5-up. (July)

From The Critics
This provocative wordless volume can be ``read'' either from front to back or even from back to front. Either way, it's a startling experience. Its illustrations ``zoom'' out, as though a viewer has rapidly backed away from each. For example, the first painting, of a jagged-edged red shape, turns out to be a detail of a rooster's comb; as the pages turn, the bird diminishes in importance, until the barn where he stands is shown to be a toy on a magazine's cover. That magazine dangles from the hand of a dozing boy, who himself becomes but a smudge on an advertising billboard. These shifts in perspective repeat until the book abandons earth altogether. The last image is a tiny white sphere-our planet-against a night sky. The bold color and level of detail in Banyai's cartoons recall ``Prince Valiant'' or another of the ``realistic'' Sunday comics. If the concept is not wholly new, the execution is superior. Readers are in for a perpetually surprising-and even philosophical-adventure. All ages. (Mar.)

    Zoom is a clever and fun book to share with children of all ages.

    As a teacher I find this book to be valuable in many ways. This wordless book is one delightful surprise after another. It is wonderful from an artistic point of view as well as acting as a spring board for creative thought, writing, and just plain fun.

    Loved it!

    I am now on my third copy as people kept 'borrowing' the first two. I use it when running workshops with teachers, to encourage discussion. Kids love looking for the connection between pictures. I've pulled it apart so the pages can be moved around and put in order. Re-Zoom is just as good.

    Is the world really what you see? O mundo é realmente o que eu acho que vejo?

    This is an excellent book for its illustration (Istvan Banyai is brilliant) and to play with children about different perspectives of the world. It is literally a case of "A picture is worth a thousand words".

    Este é um livro excelente pela ilustração (feita pelo brilhante Istvan Banyai)e para ensinar brincando a idéia das diferentes perspectivas do mundo que cada um vê.Confucio ficaria fascinado com um exemplo tão inteligente de "Imagens que valem mais do que mil palavras".

    Perfect

    Zoom is one of those books that you can read over and over and still want to read it more.I love the illustrations and the way that you go from one place to the other.
