Look-Alikes: The More You Look, the More You See!

Joan Steiner. Megan Tingley Books, $13.99 (32pp) ISBN 978-0-316-71348-1

Several reissued picture books are just right for kids who love poring over detailed pages. The paper-over-board Look-Alikes: The More You Look, The More You See by Joan Steiner, first published in 1998, collects 11 photographic scenes of a train station, a city, a general store, a park, a circus and more, each composed of hundreds of everyday objects used in unexpected ways. A giant coffeepot becomes a train engine, razors resemble vacuum cleaners, and a tambourine transforms into a sandbox. A complete list of look-alikes provides an answer key at the end of the book.
