Summary: Perfect Gift for the Visually Oriented
Review: I bought this picture book for an artistic friend and everyone who saw it loved it. I bought two more copies as gifts and another for myself, and told several people where they could find copies to buy. It is a feast - even an orgiastic one - for the eye. Each page offers something unexpected. Some of the images are just beautiful; others are shocking. I saw red - and in a new way. The small boxy shape of the book makes it seem like a little treasure box. Grownups deserve picture books too! I recently bought Stephanie Busuttil-Cesar's White and will be buying more copies of that for gifts. Moreover, I will be looking for additional colors in the future.
