Zoom Hardcover – Picture Book, March 1, 1995

This book is amazing! I am a school counselor and use this for my middle school students in small groups. I first did it with my co-counselors as an activity and knew I needed it for small groups! Helps them work together and use critical thinking skills.

This book is a gem. I love it and share it all the time. Beautiful and deep. It shares a simplicity and a clever perspective reminding us that everything is not always as it seems.

I purchased this book to use for a teambuilder for the staff I work with, and it worked wonderfully.

Zoom. Wordless zoom in page by page. A classic. I was reminded of this book when I read the illustrator Istvan Banyai's obituary recently so I ordered a copy.

I'm a therapist and use it with my clients to discuss perspective

Separated the pages and split my team up in to small groups. Gave them minimal direction for putting the pages in order. They get to work together and then combine the groups to put entire book together as a whole team.They loved it, then I told them the age recommendation for the book. That got a few more laughs.I am sure it would be great to discuss the pages with a small child, but it works great for team building too.

I have both books and posted this review in Rezoom as well.This is a gorgeous book; you can keep looking at the images for a long time and see new things. I actually use the book in class; I teach a subject that required a non-linear perspective, but rather I have to get the students to see things from a Macro to Micro perspective, not in a this happens then this happens. This book has been very successful in helping that process to occur. I actually disassemble the book, laminate the pages, and can adjust for it groups taking out some of the pages for the activity. I will not allow the students to show one another the pages, but instead, they have to describe what they think is important. Most students, based on how they have been taught to think, will describe the scene in terms of events of what is occurring, giving little emphasis to the detail of the images. Instead, about ten minutes in I let the students know that sometimes a story does not start where they think it starts; some cultures value emphasis on events or things over being linear. Then, after a bit more time, I let the students know the name of the book; which clues them in a little bit. Finally, I let the students show one another the pages, which they then put in order pretty quickly.It’s a great activity to teach perspective. A lot of times we are trained to see things a certain way, but not all people and cultures are that way. This book is great for that type of activity and lesson to teacher. It’d also work well with one’s own child, even trying to guess what happens next in the story.

This is a cute book for kids- where the story is "told" in pictures that ZOOM out as the book progresses.This was used as a team-building activity in a teacher training, and I have since used it with my high school students in a similar fashion.If you remove the pages from the binder and give each student a page, instruct them to keep their "card" (page) to themselves and not show anyone else. They must describe their page to their classmates as they move around, asking questions of each other. They must figure out where they fit in with the other cards in the room. It builds questioning skills, problem-solving skills, tells you and them who will be the natural leaders in a group, and is a good way to get high school kids up and moving around the classroom. When they think they are in order, we have them reveal the pictures one-at-a-time, so they can see the story unfold. Sometimes they want to re-order themselves once they figure out it's a Zoom out progression. I love the book and the activity that someone has developed from it.
