Over, Under and Through [Hardcover]

Tana Hoban (Author, Illustrator)

Book Description

Leap-frogging over a fire hydrant, ducking under "London Bridge," crawling through a pipe tunnel -- Tana Hoban's brilliant photographs of children transform these activities into a fascinating exploration of spatial concepts. There are twelve concepts in all -- and some surprising discoveries for the young child. As in Look Again! and Count and See, Tana Hoban has created an imaginative and provocative adventure into the many ways of seeing.

This review is from: Over, Under and Through (Hardcover)

Tana Hoban's books are all wonderful, and this is no exception. The simple photos, especially with the use of black and white, are appealling to young children. The use of other children is also great as kids love looking at pictures of other kids.
