Amazing Maisy's Family Tree

At a first glance this British import might look to American readers like the "Invasion of the Body Snatchers." But when they "look beside things and behind things" as the book suggests, things will appear less grim. Maisy's single seed in a worn-out pot grows to a plant that takes over the house and all its inhabitants. The glory of this vortex of procreation lies in Bowman's art, with its maze of tantalizing visual puns, puzzles, and paradoxes. Pages are progressively filled out from the simple to the manifold, in one splendid spread after another.
