Description
In Before & After, Jan Thornhill's beautifully detailed illustrations depict nature's varied scenes as they change over spans of time, ranging from the subtle changes that occur in just one second to the dramatic transformations that occur over the course of a year. Before & After presents stunning two-page spreads showing a variety of settings teeming with life and change. Children will take a journey through a tropical coral reef, an African savanna, the Australian rain forest and in the final scene, the familiar setting of a schoolyard. Each spread cleverly doubles as a puzzle, with creatures identified in the border for readers to spot in the main picture. Children will take pleasure in the animal searches while spotting the changes that have occurred between one picture and the next. An innovative combination of art, information, puzzle and picture book, Before & After is a book to be treasured.
