| |  | | | In Brief
"This book appears to contain a number of stories that do not necessarily occur at the same time. But it may contain only one story. Then again, there may be four stories. Or four parts of a story. . . . There is a train. There is a boy returning to his parents. There are commuters waiting impatiently. There are some strange parents, indeed. And there are the Holstein cowsthat, when they get out of their field, are almost impossible to find." (Publisher's note) "Age seven and up." (N Y Times Book Rev)
| | | | From The Publisher
Four stories are told simultaneously, with each double-page spread divided into quadrants. The stories do not necessarily take place at the same moment in time, but are they really one story? "This work engages another side of the mind. It's a story; it's a puzzle; it's a game . . . Macaulay refuses to be confined by the conventions of the picture book." -- Booklist, starred review
| | | | Annotation
Four brief "stories" about parents, trains, and cows, or is it really all one story? The author recommends careful inspection of words and pictures to both minimize and enhance confusion.
