I remember it from long, long ago, but I had forgotten the title. It's mainly a picture book dealing with a trip to the city and back. But what's cool about it is that you get to the "end" of the book, then you flip it around, and the upside down pictures are the second half of the book.

Am I the only one who remembers this book?

2. Our library has the book Reflections, so we checked it out.

The kids thought it was the coolest thing!

Edited 'cause the DU lost the body message.

3. My son and I borrowed that book from the library several years ago.
It was cool!
We are fans of these books, too. No words, but in each successive picture the central image is shown to be just a detail of the following illustration as the viewer gets a more and more expanded view of the environment surrounding the first image.
Zoom, and Re-Zoom (I put the Amazon link to Re-zoom because you can "Look inside" a bit.)
