With photographs and color paintings that dramatically re-create the last moments of these doomed great ghost liners. There is a fascinating 2-page spread which illustrates what you need to pack for an expedition to the world's highest place. Artist Joan Steiner has used everything from acorns and broccoli to yardsticks and zippers to create a striking three-dimensional models of the real world. There is a Sweet Shop with a chair made out of pretzels and crackers, and a city park where pennies are cobblestones and a shoehorn becomes a slide. Each two-page spread is fascinating to look at.
Every scene contains both a pencil, and at least one penny.
Kids of all ages will enjoy looking at these pictures and trying to find and identify the look-alikes. But as fast as I write, more books are arriving. More in about a week or so. The older, manual, order form is also still there for those who prefer to use it. Please allow 2-3 weeks for delivery.
