Round Trip

by Ann Jonas

Round Trip Cover

Synopses & Reviews

Publisher Comments:

This book isn't just the story of a round trip--it is a round trip. Read forward and look at the sights, then flip the book over to see something different on the way back. Ann Jonas' amazing two-way trip is guaranteed to change the way you look at things. Black-and-white illustrstions.

Synopsis:

"A visual stunner....The format is wonderfully inventive--once the traveler arrives in the city, the book is flipped over and read back to the beginning, with the black-and-white pictures taking on new meanings....Sure to delight and fascinate."--Publishers Weekly.
