Black and White (1991 Caldecott Medal Winner) [B0316]

1990 HCDJ 1st Edition in very good condition, 12x8-inches. - This book appears to contain a number of stories that do not necessarily occur at the same time. But it may contain only one story. Then again, there may be four stories. Or four parts of a story. Careful inspection of both words and pictures is recommended. David Macaulay once again displays his conceptual genius. He has created an inventive book that can be appreciated on many different levels. The reader will be entertained and challenged by the intermingling of the episodes. The perceptive read will be rewarded with new perspectives each time the book is explored.

From Amazon/GoodReads reviews: "Each double-page is divided into quarters, and each quarter tells its own story, but the stories (and indeed, the pages) relate to one another. The more you read it, the more connections you make. This is one of those left-brain/right-brain books that is entertaining for most ages. It works as four picture books for very young children, and it works for the adults who read it to them. Ages five to dead, as my kids say."; "Greatest most unique book ever. Has completely shaped my thought process for like 25 years."; "Awesome book. I love the clever interweaving of the story lines."
