by IstvanBanyai (Author)

Synopsis

In The Other Side, artist, designer, commentator, provocateur Istvan Banyal takes us on another exceptional visual journey. In graphically stunning illustrations that feature many clever twists in point of view, familiar scenes turn and turn again to show us the back, the front, the top, the bottom, the opposite, the other side of each perspective. Here's is a door. What's on the other side? Here's a curtain. What's on the other side? Delightful, sly, funny and challenging. The Other Side will make you look and think twice!

Media Reviews
Istvan Banyai's new book, The Other Side, like its predecessors, Zoom and Rezoom, is visually elegant, devilishly clever and not dependent on words. -The New York Times Book Review Cunning line drawings serve up a fast-paced, hall-of-mirrors-style adventure that cleverly reveals a timeless point: There are two sides to every story. -Parenting Magazine .. .another transformative page-turner. -Publishers Weekly If this is a children's book, I don't ever want to grow up. -The Kansas City Star Children who delight in picture puzzles or who enjoy meticulously decoding sequential art may barely come up for air. -The Bulletin of the Center for Children's Books
Author Bio
Istvan Banyal, the acclaimed Hungarian born creator of Zoom and Re-Zoom, and the illustrator of several other books for children, is also well known for his editorial illustrations. His perspective, always unexpected (sometimes to him) has made him one of the most original and iconoclastic illustrators of the day.
