Almost Everything

by Joelle Jolivet

Almost Everything Cover

 

Synopses & Reviews

Publisher Comments:

A skyscraper? An igloo? A high-speed train? A horse and cart? Encyclopedic and stylish, Almost Everything is full of things both familiar and unexpected, arranged in simple categories — buildings, transportation, costumes, plants, animals, and much more. The wealth of detail and oversize design is matched by bold, dramatic block print art, in a book that will capture and hold young children's attention.

Synopsis:

Poster-sized and teeming with detail and variety, this book feeds children's curiosity about the world around them. Things both familiar and unexpected are arranged in simple categories. Full color.
