Re-Zoom

This is a book without any words. Each image has details between them that sets up chronological continuity to tell the story. Each image is followed by an image that is wider in frame to show that the world perceived in the previous image is in fact bigger. This happens on every turning of the page, and because of this, the story is able to expand to a diverse amount of settings that show all kinds of different places all around the world. I loved how strong the imagery was in this book. Each picture had strong visual details that stick out in the readers mind and provides context for the images that follow. This method of story telling is extremely creative and thought-provoking. This story makes me think about how big and vast the show more world is, but at the same time it reminds me that we are all connected in many surprising ways. This book was a remake of Banyai's other book called Zoom. Although I loved the ambition of the settings this book achieves, I enjoyed the first Zoom because it felt more grounded. This book makes a lot more sense if you've read the first Zoom beforehand. This would be a great book for a lesson that focuses on perspective. show less

Re-Zoom is a wonderful book, especially for those who are very visual-minded. Although this book doesn't have any text, it does take the "reader" on an adventure that contains many surprises. On one page, readers will think they're one place, and the next, they're somewhere else.

I liked this book because it created a multitude of worlds right before my eyes. The way it came from one scene to the next was very interesting. For instance, the book would be showing a scene where there are people in ancient Egypt sitting upon some sort of throne. But then, on the next page, you zoom out to see that this was just a design that was in a set of a movie filming. This type of imagination is boundary defying and enjoyable. Even though we know the scenario this book depicts is impossible, it is still fun to look at and imagine. I know this type of scenario is impossible because of situations like a blue and red cave being a fine detail on a man's watch, such as depicted in the first few pages of the book. I feel like this show more book is a great take on perspective and how the little things can make up what we consider to be the bigger things. I feel like the "big picture" behind this book is how everything leads into something else, but ther is no way to predict what that might be. show less

Another set of various perspectives with the same starting point is explored.

The book would be a good start to a discussion about perspectives, limitations, and misconceptions.

This is the follow-up to Zoom and equally creative and thought provoking. The illustrations, which are not accompanied by text, provide a rich visual experience that begins with a close up view of a young boy's watch as he traces ancient Egyptian wall drawings and ends in the darkness of a subway tunnel. Readers will assuredly be amazed and tickled by the optical illusions. Highly recommend.

Clever, but exhausting. Not to my taste - I like fresh perspectives and I don't always need a 'point' but this is just too much. Imo. Others will love it.

Apesar de não ter nenhum texto relevante, e uma ideia simples tem sua profundidade, por meio de (bons) desenhos consecutivos que enlevam nesta ideia de percepção da realidade, e entendimento do todo.
