Awards & Recognition

  • Critical praise

    Praise from Kirkus Reviews

    Kirkus Reviews praised the book’s appeal as visual trickery.

AlbakiReads Editorial

A journey through pictures within pictures

With no words to direct the journey, Zoom links a farm, a ship, a city street, and a desert island through a sequence of changing views. Each scene becomes part of a larger image, inviting readers to reconsider what they are seeing as the perspective expands. The book’s structure makes looking itself the activity: details that seem to define one place can turn out to belong to a wider scene. Its visual sequence offers a compact way to explore perspective, scale, and how context changes what an image appears to show.

Good fit for readers who enjoy

  • Children ages 4–8 who enjoy picture-led books
  • Families and educators looking for a shared visual-reading experience
  • Readers interested in perspective, scale, and visual puzzles

Book overview

As seen on the SERIAL podcast, season 2, episode 1 ("Dustwun")!
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. For nothing is ever as it seems in Istvan Banyai's sleek, mysterious landscapes of pictures within pictures, which will tease and delight readers of all ages.

"This book has the fascinating appeal of such works of visual trickery as the Waldo and Magic Eye books."--Kirkus Reviews

"Ingenious."--The Horn Book
