SynopsisFor use in schools and libraries only. A series of views of one landscape is seen from progressively higher vantage points, beginning with a view of the sidewalk as seen by a kneeling child and ending outside our galaxy. Jenkins' distinctive cut-paper illustrations tell the whole story in this wordless look at the universe., In this wordless picture book, readers first see Earth as the astronauts do, as a small ball in the black universe. As the point of view moves gradually closer, we can see continents and oceans, then the East Coast of the United States, then a town (an imaginary one), until, finally, we are looking through a boy's magnifying glass at a ladybug. In his remarkable and detailed cut-paper illustrations, the artist takes us on an amazing journey from outer space to a young boy's front yard.
