Publisher's Note Welcome to the land of Look-Alikes, where the more on looks, the more one sees! Artist Joan Steiner has unsed everything from acrosn and broccoli to yardsticks and zippers to create this full-color, three-dimensional world. Stop in at the Sweet Shop and sit down on a chair built of pretzels and crackers, or stroll through the park, where pennies are cobblestones and a shoehorn becomes a slide. Features more than 1,000 look-alikes for readers to find. A Jr.
Industry Reviews "There are easy and difficult details in every spread, and viewers of a wide range of ages will enjoy the paradigm shift that comes from seeing a familiar object rendered alien by its unusual context." Bulletin of the Center for Children's Books - Deborah Stevenson (09/19/1998)
