Window January 4, 2003

What a versatile book, one which the primary bookshelf should not be without. The life story of a boy is told through the view through his window and follows the changes to his surroundings. Having no text the book is accessible to all age groups and abilities, offering plenty of scope for discussion and inspiration in literacy, PHSE, geography and art work.
The pictures are interesting in their media as well as content and they almost leap out of the page at you!! Everytime I 'read' this book I am astounded at the number of new things which I discover in the pictures.

This is a superb book! The illustrations are based on collage and show the view from a bedroom window changing as the room's occupant grows up. Each illustration has many features which can be discussed with a wide age range, starting with very young children through to much older - 11 year olds or beyond. The pages are linked using birthday cards and other features. Outside the window, the environment is gradually spoilt by progress. Despite the fact that there are no words, strong emotions are involved.
Provides endless discussion, a beautiful book. June 16, 2001

I used this book in the classroom with Year 1 pupils- (it would have been even better as a Big Book.) The children were enthralled and the geographical and citizenship issues just flowed. I liked it so much that I now have a copy at home which my own children thoroughly enjoy.
An absolutely delightful book! February 11, 2000

This book was a delight; no words, just pictures, but they say it all! As you progress through the beautifully illustrated pages, you are treated to a rare glimpse of the same view from one window over a period of more than twenty years. The changes that you witness hit you right in the heart! This book appeals to children, teenagers, and adults alike. It is an excellent discussion point, and I have used it as a classroom resource as well as a book for my own pleasure. A beautiful book with a truly poignant message!
