Round Trip
Round Trip | Ann Jonas

"A visual stunner....The format is wonderfully inventive--once the traveler arrives in the city, the book is flipped over and read back to the beginning, with the black-and-white pictures taking on new meanings....Sure to delight and fascinate."--Publishers Weekly.

Mehso-so

It is creative. It reminded me of “Mirror Mirror” the poetry book of “reverso” poems – read one way, then you can read from the bottom up and it‘s kind of the opposite story of reading it “down”. I guess this one should really get the credit, as it was published in 1983! The pictures were a bit more artsy than I like, though of course, they had to be drawn in such a way that they would work right-side-up, and again, upside-down. This was ok for me

Black and white illustrations and text record the sights on a day trip to the city and back home again to the country. The trip to the city is read from front to back and the return trip from back to front, upside down.
I have this book in my classroom (it was a library discard) and the pictures are so cool. I use it when I do a silhouette lesson and it is great for positive/negative space. The kids love it. 🖤

Quiz says I'm an All Rounder. Appropriate I suppose, as I do feel rather roundish after the holiday eating...

Thanks for the link @tournevis
