An astounding new feat of storytelling from Brian Selznick, the award-winning creator of The Invention of Hugo Cabret and Wonderstruck.A ship. A garden. A library. A key. In Kaleidoscope, the incomparable Brian Selznick presents the story of two people bound to each other through time and space, memory and dreams. At the center of their relationship is a mystery about the nature of grief and love which will look different to each reader. Kaleidoscope is a feat of storytelling that illuminates how even the wildest tales can help us in the hardest times. Críticas Praise for Kaleidoscope: Kaleidoscope, Brian Selznick's brilliant new book, is a collection of magical, weird and mysterious stories... Each tale is accompanied by art, which, as we've come to expect from Selznick, is stunning... While each tale seems like a sliver of a larger story we'll never learn, we get the impression that we're hearing the best part. There are no answers in this gorgeous book. There are just two of us -- Selznick and the reader -- lying side by side in the belly of a sphinx. Not trying to answer a riddle. Just appreciating being in the middle of one. -- Adam Gidwitz, The New York Times Book ReviewPraise for Baby Monkey, Private Eye: A New York Times Bestselling BookAn Amazon Best Book of the YearA Kirkus Reviews Best Book of the YearParents Magazine Best Early Reader of the YearA BookPage Best Book of the YearA News & Observer Best Book of the YearA marvel. -- The New York TimesInventive... fabulously expressive... -- San Francisco Chronicle...exceedingly cute... -- The Wall Street JournalSilly, endearing, and adventurous... -- The Washington PostAnother boundary-buster. -- San Diego Union TributeExquisite...

It's the detailed full spreads, however, that stop the show and cinematically change the pace, especially
