A series of posters by a German artist depicting the changes in a country landscape as it becomes more and more built up, with houses, roads, buildings, finally becoming a city (as best as I can remember!) Simon & Schuster Children’s Books. 0-689-50085-8 1977

Personal Response- I stumbled upon this book when searching Amazon and I bought it on a whim. I'm so please I did. The pictures are very detailed and beautiful. They are folded into thirds and folded inside the book. I was amazed with what I notice the first time looking at them but you can notice something new every time you look at it. I love cats so when I noticed him, I searched for him in all 7 photographs. It's a lesson that the white cat isn't found on the last page.

Curricular connections- This book has amazing flexibility in that any age ground can appreciate it and make some sort of connection. It could work with kindergarten to twelve graders. The discussion of environmental issues and importance of land can be talked about. ( )
