David Macaulay
Hardcover

Caldecott Medal winner. Dust jacket flap states: "This book appears to contain a number of stories that do not necessarily occur at the same time. But it may contain one story. Then again, there may be four stories. Or four parts of a story. Careful inspection of both words and pictures is recommended. There is a train, There is a boy returning to his parents. There are commuters waiting immediately. There are some strange parents, indeed. And there are the Holstein cows that, when they get out of their field, are almost impossible to find." And don't forget the newspaper costumes! The author and illustrator have done it again, after great success of his earlier books Cathedral, The Way Things Work, Castle, Pyramid, etc. He also received a medal from the American Institute of Architects for being "an outstanding illustrator and recorder of architectural accomplishments."
