Description

Using dramatic, full-color photographs, Shelley Rotner and Richard Olivo introduce young readers to perspective and scale in a fun and easy-to-understand fashion. Each spread shows an everyday item from three different perspectives: close, closer, and closest. By observing the photographs, children will be able to gauge the relative size of an object and discover how things can look very different close up from how they do far away.
