I stumbled in here looking for a pic shown here from Google Image.<br /><br />What was amazing about this book was the pictures full of little people an animals, each doing something different, and you could look at one pic for 15 minutes or more just looking at all the little stories going on in the pictures, noticing odd details and wondering what they might mean.Johnnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-938617987945183593.post-45963985141790571142016-08-23T07:03:44.381-05:002016-08-23T07:03:44.381-05:00You are amazing for posting this.

I've looked for other John O'Brien books; there are very few, and none have the little people that populate the places In Between.
