Summary |
Everyone knows that a tiny acorn grows into a mighty oak and a caterpillar becomes a butterfly. But in this visually enchanting volume, it's also true that a cow can result in both a bottle of milk and a painting of a cow, and an ape in a jungle may become an urban King Kong. Just as day turns into night and back again, a many-tiered cake is both created and eaten down to a single piece. With simple, graphic illustrations sure this rumination on the passage of time will be of interest of people of all ages. |
