The World that Loved Books by Stephen Parlato

The simple premise of this book is showcased through beautifully rendered pictures made of photo collage. The whole idea of the book is that "There once was a world where everyone loved books...so much that when they read their books, they became what they read." Following this simple statement are 14 collages...examples of animals and people who became what they read...like the rabbit who became turtles. The picture is so intricate and uses dozens of pictures of turtles cut and arranged in such a way to make a very believable rabbit. Take a look at this book to appreciate the simple message and study the very cool pictures.
