Zoom zoom zoom
Loved both Zoom and Re-Zoom. I think the greatest thing about these books are the stories my 5 year old comes up with.

Rezoom
Beautiful pictures that tell a story, either separately of in sequence. The pictures alone make for a great team building game, as participants try to line up in order without speaking.

OK, but not as good as ZOOM
The first book, Zoom, is fun and fascinating when "read' for the first time. Re-zoom may be equally clever, but is basically just more of the same. If someone has seen the first book and gets the gist of the "zooming," then the predictablilty of the next page of Re-zoom takes away from the "wow" experience of the first book. If one were to read only one of these books, I would definitely recommend the first, Zoom.

great book!
This is a great activity for church groups and/or school staffs! I've done it at a pastor's retreat and at our school staff development. It was a great activity for both groups!

Perspective Game
I was shown this as a perspective game. Tear all the pages out and then shuffle them up. Then have a team put them in an order. Don't tell them there is a specific order but let them figure out how it works. Each person on the team will see a different part and then they will all put it together. Then talk about perspective and how each person's can be different so we need to work together to get the complete picture.

Not near as good as "Zoom"
If you have never seen any books by this author before then I would recommend purchasing "Zoom". It's amazing which made me slightly disappointed with this one. I was hoping it would be just as good as the first but it was harder to follow and wasn't as fun to look at. I wish I had not bought it.

Even Better Than Zoom
Once again Istvan Banyai takes your perception on a roller coaster ride. This amazing sequel is even better than Zoom. Thoroughly enjoyable and could also be used as part of a motivational speech on seeing things as they are and aren't. Perception isn't always reality.

Second generation of Zoom
I bought this book at the same time as I bought Zoom. Both are great books for getting people to think outside the box, but for some reason, I still like the original Zoom best. Still a good book though.
