Booklist - 11/15/2014 The grade range given here is just for starters—it’s easy to imagine using the ideas in art classes all the way up through middle school, high school, and beyond. Ramstein and Arégui have created a humorous, intriguing, fascinating, insightful look at the concept of before and after, including the small (such as the acorn and oak) to the more complex (the building of a city). Ramstein’s artwork has a fine-lined, almost Chris Ware–like sophistication, and the result will be readers, young and old, paging through the book multiple times, both for aha moments as well as hidden depths. Perhaps the richest possibility is an adult helping guide a child through the book, as some of the concepts take explaining—for example, the squid on the left-hand page paired with the bottle of ink on the right-hand one. Quiet jokes abound, too: a chicken followed by an egg, and an egg followed by a chicken. Some will wish the items were sequenced in a logical fashion, while others will find the utter randomness part of the curious charm. - Copyright 2014 Booklist.
