Why read it?

1 author picked Where's Walrus? as one of their favorite books. Why do they recommend it?

This picture book has no words in it. It is all about the picture. Of all the books on my list, it is perhaps most like my style because the illustrations are very simple, using blocks of colour and few lines. The walrus on each page often looks like something else, making the reader look twice to make sure they’ve seen it correctly. The visual trickery is so well-done and provides a great source of amusement and admiration for the reader.

From Patrick's list on pictures that say a thousand words.
