Books with author Keith Kay

Look closely at each illustration—what do you see? Are you sure? Don’t trust your eyes too quickly, because every picture here has an optical trick to fool you. Some-times you’ll find “two objects in one”; sometimes you have to rotate drawings to solve the puzzle. Among the forms of visual magic: a bird that “flies” into a cage and a boy who changes into a monkey when the page is turned upside down. More than 300 engrossing optical illusions.

Puzzles in living color-and with a "trickster" personality out to confound your eyes. A vivid array of optical illusions will have you doing double-takes as they seem to deceive perspective, shift shade, change pattern, and make visual magic. Think you know what's in a picture? Blink and check closely once again, and it's become something else!· See that portrait of a young girl? Take another look-it shows her grandmother, too! Can you find both of them?· Carefully examine a real postage stamp of Daniel Webster: when you turn it upside down, you'll notice something unexpected...Plus: figure out the secret in the landscape, step into a third dimension through color's fantastic effects, and more. Even before you reach the very last image you'll know that what you see isn't necessarily what you get!

Bats and birds that look like faces, skulls that pop up on anything white, three donkeys with three ears between them, and, walls that disappear - relax, they're only optical illusions. Examine thousand-year-old drawings, find out about closure, perspective, "the Rubin vase" and how these tools can untangle the tricks found in this volume. This book is a fascinating, visually arresting title, which will keep the kids quiet for hours.
