Stunning artwork

"Just Like You and Me," by David Miller, has a simple theme: animals and humans have a lot in common when you think about it. The author briefly looks at several species (cheetahs, penguins, chameleons, etc.) and for each shows a characteristic that it has in common with humans. Example: both lions and people like to lounge around!The book is illustrated with photographs of paper sculptures. This artwork is truly remarkable: rich in visual texture and color. This is truly a visually striking book.
