Re-Zoom

This is a great activity for church groups and/or school staffs! I've done it at a pastor's retreat and at our school staff development. It was a great activity for both groups!

I was shown this as a perspective game. Tear all the pages out and then shuffle them up. Then have a team put them in an order. Don't tell them there is a specific order but let them figure out how it works. Each person on the team will see a different part and then they will all put it together. Then talk about perspective and how each person's can be different so we need to work together to get the complete picture.

Once again Istvan Banyai takes your perception on a roller coaster ride. This amazing sequel is even better than Zoom. Thoroughly enjoyable and could also be used as part of a motivational speech on seeing things as they are and aren't. Perception isn't always reality.

has read any of my other reviews knows that being speechless isn't one of my major problems :- DThere isn't a written discription of this book that is adequate... The book is entirely visual. It is one continuous picture that changes in perspective by "ZOOMING" in on a part of the prior picture. It's like looking at a snow-globe....than being in the snow-globe....than being in a picture IN the snow-globe. The artwork is fascinating and the ability to pre-think the work as a whole would have daunted me if i were the artist... What a gift this book is. I bought it for my son but it has made a much more incredable impact on any adult i show it to. if you choose this book you will NOT be sorry. And it makes and excellent gift for a person "who has everything". I think if i had to be stuck on a desert island with one book this would be it!

Banyai manages to capture the readers imagination with brilliant illustrations as he pulls away from a minute detail that becomes a bigger part of the picture. My 9 year old son and I read this masterpiece over and over and as we journeyed deeper into to pages, an overwhelming sense of the largess of the world came to mind. This is a must read! It is thought provoking and riviting.
