Review by Publisher's Weekly Review
Several reissued picture books are just right for kids who love poring over detailed pages. The paper-over-board Look-Alikes: The More You Look, The More You See by Joan Steiner, first published in 1998, collects 11 photographic scenes of a train station, a city, a general store, a park, a circus and more, each composed of hundreds of everyday objects used in unexpected ways. A giant coffeepot becomes a train engine, razors resemble vacuum cleaners, and a tambourine transforms into a sandbox. A complete list of look-alikes provides an answer key at the end of the book.

Review by Horn Book Review
This reissue of a strikingly original puzzle book contains three-dimensional representations of a general store, hotel, and circus, etc. Each scene is composed of more than one hundred everyday objects cunningly crafted to depict their surprising counterparts: a disposable razor is a vacuum cleaner; fig bars are seat cushions. Ignore the clunky rhymes and just enjoy the amazing scenery. From HORN BOOK Spring 2004, (c) Copyright 2010. The Horn Book, Inc., a wholly owned subsidiary of Media Source, Inc.
